Look at some of the amplifiers from Tokyo High Power. They have several
that will do a fine job. They are high quality and price now. Yes they can
be imported on a personal basis.

Ken,
Not possible. The KPA100 must communicate with the base K2 for band
selection, power control, T/R switching, and other functions. The K1 does
not have the necessary signals to communicate with the KPA100.
The KPA100 was designed as an integral part of the K2 rather than 'just an
amplifier'.
With a *lot* of modification, the KPA100 could be made to work standalone,
but the amount of modification is so great that it would not be cost
effective (and IMHO the result would be a kludge).
A higher power linear amplifier could be used with the K1. If the amp is
truly linear and develops 1000 watts with 100 watts of drive, it will also
develop 100 watts of drive with 10 watts input or 50 watts with 5 watts
input.
73,

I have an off-reflector friend who's just built a K1. He asks if it can
be mated with a KPA-100, perhaps in an EC-2?
Off hand, I'd say there are ... at least ... antenna relaying
issues involved.
He realizes that if this is possible he might not achieve the
full 100W output from the KPA-100.
