[Elecraft] K2 100 Tuner question

[Don Wilhelm]

Johnny,

NO!  First of all, the KPA100 occupies the entire top area of the K2 
(there is no room in the K2 for both) and secondly, the KAT2 is only 
rated for 20 watts,
and thirdly, the ATU must be between the amplifier and the antenna - a 
tuner at the input of an amplifier will do nothing useful.

Use the KAT100-1 - it is about half the height of the K2 enclosure.

Contrary to some comments I have seen and heard, the KAT100-1 is 
available and will be for some time in the future.

It is the EC2 enclosure that is no longer available, and the KAT100-2 
depended on the EC2 for the enclosure, so the KAT100-2 had to be 
discontinued at the same time as the EC2 was discontinued.

73,
Don W3FPR
