[Elecraft] [K2] Tuning a magloop with KAT100

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave and all,

You only have to put the tuner into Calibrate.  For the KAT100 it is ATU 
CAL.
The TUNE button will then simply put out a carrier (the KAT100 will not 
tune, but is effectively bypassed).  With the KPA100, that power will be 
limited to 20 watts or if the Power Knob is set lower than 20 watts, it 
will put out a carrier at the set power.  If it is significantly higher 
than that, the KPA100 wattmeter has a problem.

73,
Don W3FPR
