Mike,

You are doing the steps correctly - EXCEPT - after you see 'CAL' in the K2
menu, exit the menu by tapping the menu button twice (be certain you get
back to the frequency display).  The ATU will now be locked into the CAL
state.

Then press the MENU and BAND buttons together to enter tune mode - the
display should indicate the power output with the KXAT1 installed (it shows
'tun' with only the base KX1).

Tap any button to exit the TUNE mode.

After you are done with the calibration, go back into the menu and set the
KXAT1 to tun so it will tune the antenna when you press the MENU and BAND
buttons.

73,
