Can you bypass KAT2 tuner on K2?

[Andrew Moore-4]

Is it possible to bypass the KAT2 20W automatic internal antenna tuner on the K2?  Can you do this by simply disabling the KAT2 (if I remember correctly there may of an "atu off" option somewhere in the K2's menus) and connecting the antenna to the original antenna port?

To bypass the KAT2, go to the menu and set either ATU CALP, ATU CALS or ATU
POUT (depending on what you want the display to read when pressing TUNE, see
the chart in the manual) - the KAT2 ANT1 and ANT2 jacks can still be used
and will be switched as normal.

If you want the ATU entirely disable, open the top cover and unplug it, then
use the lower rear panel BNC jack.
