Re: [Elecraft] K2 with KXPA100
Don (and Ed and Heinz), Thank you for the information. I have Tom's legacy website so will look up the board. Don, I enjoyed my day with the Elecraft gang at the hamfest; thanks for the invite. I'll see you at Dayton, if you can make it. 73 Jay K3BH On Sun, Apr 21, 2019, at 22:47, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Jay, > > You will need to key the amplifier with a keying output from the K2. > Yes, the amp will detect band and frequency, but you still need a KEYOUT > from the K2. > The best solution is to use the N0SS Amplifier Keying board.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 with KXPA100
You are correct Don, Far Circuits does have the board for the N0SS amp Keying circuit. I have installed it in both of my K2's and works great. They also have the board for your fixed Audio out. They are hard to find on his web page so I just called him and he took care of my order.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 with KXPA100
Jay, You will need to key the amplifier with a keying output from the K2. Yes, the amp will detect band and frequency, but you still need a KEYOUT from the K2. The best solution is to use the N0SS Amplifier Keying board. Since Tom is SK, no kits are available, but I understand you can obtain the boards from FAR circuits - or the circuit is simple enough that you can build it on perfboard using Tom's full size board layout.

[Elecraft] K2-10 - KXPA100 - AMERITRON AL811H?
My K2-10 is my backup rig. It has an internal homemade transistor amp keyer that keys the AL811H when 100 watts is needed. I would like to add the KXPA100 to have the option to fully drive the AL811H when needed, or to run 100 watts without tuning the larger amp. What would be the best way to key both amps at the same time? Any other considerations that I should know for setting up this configuration? For those that may ask, the reason I want to use the KXPA100 instead of the internal K2 amp is so the radio will still be available for qrp backpacking and such. Thanks for your help!

Re: [Elecraft] K2-10 - KXPA100 - AMERITRON AL811H?
I put my KPA100 and KAT100 in a separate EC2 enclosure. This allows the K2/10 to be unhooked and taken portable. It also provides the key out jack for driving a larger amp in the shack.
