Brian, If the PA idling current was adjusted to 400 ma (increase over RX current), then the KPA100 bias should be correct whether operated in the base K2 enclosure or in a remote enclosure.
In other words, it should make no difference whether it is mounted on the base K2 or in an external enclosure. If you want to do a double check just to be certain, then by all means do it. The current during the test (CW Test mode - which produces no RF, and TUNE) should increase the current draw by 400 ma over the receive current draw. The Receive current draw by the KPA100 will be much smaller with the KPA100 mounted remotely. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/11/2011 12:25 AM, Brian - N5BCN wrote: > Hi all, > > I recently completed a KPA100 and initially did the testing in my K2 as a > K2/100. > > The ultimate goal, however, was to remote it in a EC2 enclosure with a > KAT100-2.
