Jim,
Your plan to check the operation of the basic K2 is the right way to go.
Let us know hat happens with the KPA100 removed and we can possibly
assist further once you have further isolated the problem.
In many cases, there was a fault 'waiting to happen' in the basic K2,
and rears its ugly head when doing something else - like adding the KPA100.

Hi!
I just finished the KPA100. All the tests were great. Final assembly was
fine. I hooked it up to my antenna through my SGC MAC-200. Hit the tune
button, the tuner started doing it's thing, and then the radio just up
and died. The basic K2 with SSB, DSP, 60 and 160 mtr options had been
working fine up to this point.
I tried to use the barrel connector for power, but get nothing there
either. I do get a slight pop from the speaker when the power is
connected to the power pole connectors when I switch the radio on, but
nothing else comes on. No lights, sounds, etc.
I will pull the PA cover off in the morning and see if going with the
QRP cover will make a difference and also check for things that don't
look right. However, I didn't see or smell any smoke.
Thanks for any help
