[Elecraft] K2 T1 tuner operation question

[Don Wilhelm]

LS,

Vic gave you good info.  If you want a smoother output from the K2 while 
the tuner is tuning (and the input load impedance is varying wildly), 
about the only 'solution' I know of is to place an attenuator between 
the K2 and the tuner - a 5 or 6 dB attenuator with an adequate power 
rating will do.  The attenuator provides a more constant load to the K2 
during the process.  Unfortunately, you would have to remove the 
attenuator after tuning - perhaps a relay to switch it in and out.
