Hank,

To use the KXPA100 with the K2, you will have to install the K2 Keying 
Output mod.  This is not available from Elecraft, but boards are 
available from FAR circuits.  The KXPA100 will bandswitch when RF is 
applied.
You might ask Dave W8FGU if he has any built up as kits dave at w8fgu.com.  
He had mentioned that possibility some time ago, but I don't know if it 
materialized.

73,
Don W3FPR
