[Elecraft] K2/100 with MP2 questions for Eric

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

Hi Ned,

1, Yes, the K2/100 drives the MP2 without a tuner fine. I put the K2/100 into
tune at about 3W and watch the internal SWR display as I manually tune the
antenna up and down. (The K2/100 includes a built in SWR detector.)

2. I manually tune it with a switch as per above. No special K2 firmware yet to
do this yet- but not a bad idea.

73, Eric
