The KPA100 is dedicated to the K2. It needs to communicate with the K2 MCU to select the proper band, control the power output level as well as a myriad of other functions.
While it could feasibly be modified, it would be a considerable task to do so, and would require adding new firmware with more smarts than available in the existing KPA100 firmware IC. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/11/2012 12:44 PM, hawley, charles j jr wrote: > Why do folks say only with K2?
