You guys are making this too hard. The 20 watt tunner mounts in the QRP K2 top. When you take off the QRP top off to put on the 100 watt amp the QRP tunner has gone away. I have both tunners and it is no problem going back and forth. The 100 watt runner has places for the K2’s feet to fit into on it’s top. So the K2 and tunner stay togeather. But the K2 will lift off. I made some side plates out of aluminum that go under both the K2’s sides and the tunner’s sides. Now if I pick-up the K2 the tunner comes with it.
