Depending on your skill and experience level, the time to build a KPA100

There are not nearly as many parts as the K2, but there are more
mechanical assembly steps than for the K2. Winding the toroids is more
difficult because of the larger gauge

Craig,
While you can feed ladder line directly to anything (including a KX1),
the enclosure and whatever is connected to it can create unbalance on
the ladder line. The result is that the antenna tuning will change
depending on how the KX1 couples to ground - the antenna will behave

Hi Adam,
The KAT3 is a wide-range tuner based on an L-network with switchable
lo/hi Z. It tunes quickly, using our proven 3-stage firmware algorithm.
LC data is saved for many segments in each band, so you'll rarely need
to re-tune.
There are two antenna jacks, and the settings are saved
