[Elecraft] K2/100 up-date

[Don Wilhelm]

I trust you installed the KPA100UPKT - the KPA100MDKT is not necessary 
because all the changes for that mod are included in the KPA100UPKT.

I am still able to answer questions, but I can no longer physically do 
the work.  Getting old 'sucks', and I am getting up in years.

I try to help Dave when he runs into a weird problem, but his requests 
for assistance have fallen off to a trickle in the past 6 months - I 
think he is fully 'on board' and quite capable.

73,
Don W3FPR
