I have a setup exactly like the Wilcox Engineering setup. I have a
second K2 with the KAT2 installed just for QRP, but I've had it
connected to the KPA100 also. Works fine and is a very impressive little
package on the desk.
The Wilcox Eng. text says to be sure to power up the KPA100 before

You've got to have the KIO2, an EC2 enclosure, and the KAT100PNL kit.
KIO2 goes in the QRP K2, KPA100 and KAT100 go in the new EC2 enclosure
which has the KAT100PNL kit installed.
Assuming you've got the KAT100-1 you can use the serial cable you

I have the same at present, though with self-adhesive Velcro (the GA
pilot’s best friend.) Horizontal trips on each side of the K2 and the
KAT100-1, and two short vertical strips mated to each side to hold the two
boxes together.
Knowing that the KAT2 mounts in the base K2 cover makes it all
You guys are making this too hard. The 20 watt tunner mounts in the QRP K2 top.
When you take off the QRP top off to put on the 100 watt amp the QRP tunner has
gone away. I have both tunners and it is no problem going back and forth. The
100 watt runner has places for the K2’s feet to fit into
I currently have my K2-100 sitting on top of the KAT100... works fine. I also
have a qrp lid for the K2 with its tuner. As soon as I can get an EC2, it will
become, a K2 with qrp tuner, and a KPA100 with KAT100.. and a digital K2
alongside. Then I plan to do qrp portable or mobile... and ..
I'm going to be doing the KPA100 and KAT100-1 in the EC2 enclosure or K2
"Twins" and then look at the T-1 outboard tuner for any QRP wild hairs I
get.

I researched this at one point also, and I believe you can't have them in
there at the same time. There's not room for the KAT2 and the KPA100 both in
the same top cover and I don't believe it'll even work electrically.
So you're pretty much stuck with one or the other and an external tuner in
Ted:
You might look into building the K2/100 in the 'Twins' configuration. To
switch from 100 watts to qrp just requires disconnection the power amp box.
This configuration allows the KAT2 to be used along with the high power tuner.
I built mine that way and it works very well.

A question for those who have the K2/100 ---
I finished building and am now becoming familiar with operating the K2/100 and
the KAT100-1. It’s a great combination; but for portable work it’s heavy and
there are two boxes. At the time I bought it I did not purchase the KAT2 – the
internal low
