I'm sorry about the previous post. I found the relevant email(s).

This is important; in evaluating suppliers for our adapters at Pro Audio Engineering we were sent a sample of non-Anderson PP connectors which just did not mate correctly with the real thing. The leaf spring under the contact was of insufficient preload to keep the pair mated under light tension, which also throws the reliability of the contact resistance into question. We didn't find a problem with crimp retention, but that is so very specific to the actual ID of the ferrule and the gauge of the wire being crimped. It is possible that someone using a wire at the small end of the range for that specific contact could have a problem. It can be compelling to save 50% or more on a connector, but we ended up using Anderson PPs, and have had zero quality issues as a result.

[Elecraft] K2 accessories order
I have K2 SN 00057. It is the most basic it can be. I stopped once it was working even though I had lots of the original add-ons because I was simply having too much fun. So, here is my dilemma: I have ALL of the options except the KPA100, including updates & DSP, but have not yet installed any of them. I hope to even get the KPA100 for a combined late October birthday/Christmas. Does anyone have a list of a) what order I SHOULD install them in; & b) which ones should NOT be used with any others? (I understand the battery and I THINK the internal antenna tuner are not usable with the KPA100.) Thanks.
