Hi The K2/100 will draw about 15-18 amps depending on the band selected at 100 watts driven into a 50 ohm load.
Do not use silver solder it is hard to remove if you make a mistake or when components need to be removed to install options. Silver solder has no advantages in standard through hole PC construction. You should use 60/40 or better 63/37 rosin core solder.

This forum is very helpful and maybe I can get some questions answered. What current does the K2 need at 100 watts? Did I see one is supposed to use 2% silver solder or is 60/40 ok?
