[Elecraft] Re: KAT2: functional without proper power/SWR calibration?

[Andrew Moore]

I just finished building the KAT2 internal auto antenna tuner for my K2.
I don't yet have access to an external wattmeter, or RF probe, so I'm
wondering: are the last couple alignment / calibration steps necessary
for operation of the KAT2, or will the KAT2 still reach a proper match
even if SWR and power "calibration" has not been performed per the last
bit of the manual?  May I use the KAT2 for now and simply ignore the
possibly erroneous readings, or does the KAT2 actually rely on them for
finding a match?

Thanks,
