Brian,
Even though the KAT2 and the KPA100 are present in the "Twins"
configuration, when the K2 MCU detects the presence of the KPA100, the
KAT2 is bypassed and set to connect only to ANT1.
In other words, the KAT2 will not work with the KPA100 present.
If an ATU is required with the KPA100 in-line, the KAT100 or other ATU
between the KPA100 output and the antenna is necessary.
Yes, the KAT2 is rated at up to 20 watts. The KAT100 is rated at up to
about 150 watts.

..unless you build it in the ‘Twins’ configuration. Then you have the KAT2 and
KAT100 both available in the system along with the KPA100. But you need
another EC2 enclosure.

if you were planning to buy a K2 kit, you should do that. It was a pleasure,
and a lot of fun to put together. The KAT2 will not work with the KPA100
option for the reason Don pointed out also, and Don correct me if I'm wrong,
I'm not sure its rated for more than 20w.
The KAT100 is a great option, and is designed to sit below the K2/100. If you
need pictures, you can check out my K2 build pics here:
