Bruce,

I believe you could use a noise generator and Spectrogram to do the initial
alignment - that should get you within the ballpark.  No dummy load
necessary - just feed the noise generator into the antenna input.

Once you do that -I think you would obtain better results if you use a
single signal to do the final peaking - particularly that of L34 to achieve
the best S/N ratio from the receiver.  The bandpass filters can be peaked
either using a received single signal or using the transmit signal from the
K2 as indicated later in the manual.

73,
