[Elecraft] KXPA100 et Smarttuner SG230

Hello,

My configuration : KX3, KXPA100 (with KXAT100, not used in normal 
operation), coax line, SG230 (Smartuner), doublet.

My question :
In way to tune the Smarttuner, I must send some RF into the Smartuner 
via the coax line. Before the tuning process begins, the SWR in the coax 
line to the Smartuner may be very high. In this case, the KXPA100 goes 
into Fault Condition ("Err Ant") ; no RF more, the tuning process stops.

Roundabouts :
1. PA off (via menu), tuning with KX3 barefoot.
2. KXAT100 on, KXAT100 tuning, Smartuner tuning, KXAT100 off.

Doing so (1. or 2 above), I can get the Smartuner tuned, but it's a bit 
cumbersome.

Any idea ?
