Hi Jerry,

Rev 1.05 of the K2 firmware added two new ATU features:

-  Holding DISPLAY and TUNE switches together forces ATU into POUT mode
    temporarily. This is useful when you want to do TUNE at full power
    but not kick off an ATU re-tune.

-  Automatic power reduction to 3W in both AUTO & ALT modes.
