[Elecraft] [K2] KPA100 in a speparate enclosure - build-in KAT2 still ok?

[Don Wilhelm]

When either  the  KPA100 or the KAT100  (or both) are detected,  the 
KAT2  will  be switched  to  ANT1 by  the  firmware,  and  the  L/C 
section  of the  KAT2  will  be bypassed.   

I am not certain why you are concerned about tuning the KAT2 when the 
KPA100/KAT100 are connected.  When you disconnect the KPA100/KAT100 from 
the QRP K2, the KAT2 will still remember the last used tuning for both 
ANT1 and ANT2.
