It's not a good idea to try to operate the tuner when driving an amp, 
although sometimes it's useful if you are careful.  Probably the best 
thing to do is to tune the K2 into a dummy load and activate the tuner. 
   This will set the tuner up for a 50-ohm load.   Then connect the amp 
and do not activate the tuner.  Most amps should provide an SWR of 1.5:1 
or less.
