Hi Ed, Yes, if the KPA100 and the KAT100 are mounted in the EC2 the qrp K2 can have the qrp tuner also. Then it is a matter of what you tell it to do by how it is connected.

Horizontal trips on each side of the K2 and the KAT100-1, and two short vertical strips mated to each side to hold the two boxes together. Knowing that the KAT2 mounts in the base K2 cover makes it all make sense; I was unable to access the KAT2 manual to see that last night. Another possibility for a quick conversion to QRPis to move both the KAT100 and the KPA100 to an EC-2 enclosure and install the KAT2 in the base K2. I have seen references in the archives to the possibility of doing that conversion, but they leave a number of questions open. Once the KPA100 is installed in the K2, is it possible to move it over to an EC-2 with the KAT100? If so, is there a procedure published somewhere?
