[Elecraft] Contesting with my K2

[Ken Alexander]

Hi Mark and Leigh,

I'm using an Elecraft T-1 external tuner, which I also
use (less and less) with an FT-817.  It would still be
a nice feature for those who use an external tuner.  I
didn't know about its ability to reduce power for
internal tuner operation because I don't have one.  

I wonder if that's something the tuner instructs the
K2 to do?  If it's internal to the K2 then it would be
a neat fuction to be able to turn on and off for
external tuner use.

73 - Ken
