Richard;
I would opt for the third option (separate K2/100) for just one
reason. As you mentioned below, you have "A Son in scouting,
baseball, and band." Is he interested in ham radio yet? When you do
get him addicted, you will want to have a separate station for him to
work with besides your main one. It could definitely be a huge
advantage to have a second rig at the ready, one for you and one for
him to practice, operate, etc.
I'm looking at a similar situation - KG6YMN (my 14 year old) is
showing signs of wanting to upgrade from technician. He thoroughly
enjoyed operating the GOTA station at Field Day. The possibility of
having to share my K2/100 is making me contemplate other options...

I am trying to decide.. 1) Build the KPA100 into an EC2 case. 2)
Convert my
current K2 to a K2/100. 3) Build a separate new K2/100. Goals are:
100
watts as an option. Maintain portability. Minimum building time.
Don't get
me wrong I like building. I have house related projects to do. A
Son in
scouting, baseball, and band. Daughters in college. Cars to fix.
Need I
continue. I guess I would like to know what the caveats are to the
separate
box solution. Any ideas?? Any other ideas not mentioned?? Thanks in
advanced.
