I have researched putting my KPA-100 in a seperate enclosure and

extending cables and plugging them in when I need the amplifier is
very
complicated according to the reflector. I am not very good at this,
but was able
to complete the Elecraft kits due to their excellence.
If some one (hopefully Elecraft) could make up a kit for remoting the
KPA-100, I would be very appreciative, and I would buy it. My bet
is that a lot of
others might buy it also. For my purposes, I just need to use the
amplifier
without changing the case and be able to go back to using the rig
QRP (unplug
the amplifier).
Is my only alternative to order more of that multi-colored cable
and other
plugs and connectors from Elecraft and run the whole mess out the
back of the
case of both the K-2 and the EC2 I need to buy? Thanks for anyone's
help...72,

There's a much easier--

You will probably want to add a KIO2 (although there is an
alternative listed on those web pages). A custom cable need to be
constructed, but that beats making extenders for the ribbon cable,
etc. I haven't done this yet (I have all the parts), but many on
this refelector have built theirs this way. When unplugged from the
external KPA100, you have a standard K2 (with the exception of one
larger inductor).
Another way of doing this is shown at <http://home.pacbell.net/

Good luck!
