Frank,
The KPA100 is dedicated to the K2.
To operate the KPA100, it needs the base K2 MCU to change bands, do T/R
switching, and monitor the power output (among other things).
Those functions depend on the signals to and from the base K2 MCU. The
same is true of the KAT100 mounted in your EC2 enclosure.
So yes, the KPA100 can operate as an amplifier, but would need a lot of
external control signals. If you are willing to create a digital
interface that will provide the proper control signals to the KPA100,
then you could make it work, but the expense and trouble to get that
working would exceed the price of the KXPA100.
