[Elecraft] Disable KAT-2

[Don Wilhelm]

Jerry,

Sorry to hear about your twice blown diodes.

To disable the wattmeter on the tuner, you must physically remove the tuner.

Normally, the tuner inductances and capacitors are bypassed in ATU CAL (and
a few other settings - consult the manual), but the wattmeter is still in
the circuit and should function to provide the K2 power leveling circuits
with a measurement of the actual output power.

73,
