[Elecraft] Ameritron Pulser

[Stephen W. Kercel]

Does anyone on the list have any experience using an Ameritron pulser 
(ATP 100 or ATP 102) to tune an amplifier.

If so, I have a few questions:

Is there a practical way to connect both the pulser and a regular 
keyer to the K2 key jack so that you can use either device, but avoid 
having one device affect the other?

Can you get the same effect as the ATP by simply sending a string of 
dots from the keyer?

If so, is there a particular combination of dot spacing and code 
speed that is best suited to get a K2 to generate the waveform 
necessary to tune an amplifier by the "pulser" method?

Are these pulsers just a gimmick, or is this really a good way to 
tune an amplifier?

Thanks & 73,

Steve
