Jeremy,
The wattmeter in the KAT100 has been damaged - diodes D1 and D2.
You also have the KPA100, and it has a wattmeter with those diodes - so
order 4 just in case those need to be replaced too.
We can get to the KPA100 after the KAT100 has been taken care of.
Failure to disconnect the antenna from the K2 when not in use will
damage those diodes from static coning in from the feedline(s).
73,

I guess ordering from Elecraft is the safest bet. It will take a bit
longer, but so be it.
