Hi Harold,
You will connect the K2 to the KXPA100 as you would any 3rd party
transceiver setup as described in the KXPA100 manual. You will just
route RF from the K2 to the KXPA100 input and provide a keying line from
the K2 to the keying input of the KXPA100. This means you will need to

NEVER connect an SVGA cable to an Elecraft ACC/AUX port, unless you have a
way to test every single pin. Many of these cables short all the "ground"
pins together (there are 5 of them), or omit Pin 9 (K3 Band2 OUT), so they
won't work at all and could cause damage.
