I've used the AT11-MP with my K2/100 (I wanted the metering). You should be able to use the KAT100 with the addition of the KIO for QRP without any problem. You can keep or sell the KIO once you go with the KPA100. With the LDG, you just won't have the quick band change as with the KAT100 directly

Thanks to all who responded. My delemma is that if I buy the KAT 100 for use with my K-2, I would also have to purchase either the 100 watt amp (KPA100) for $359 (which I evenutally plan to do) or I have to have KIO2 for $89 to use with my K-2. So my options with Elecraft tuners are (1) to

I am considering using an LDG AT-100Pro or LDG Z-100 tuner with my K-2. My reasoning is that I haven't upgraded to 100 watts yet, but I need a tuner now. Also, I operate CW almost exclusively, what other K-2 options would folks suggest. Any advice and suggestions will be appreciated. Ci Jo
