K2 ATU Pout Question

I am disappointed that I received no reply to my query re the KAT2.
Perhaps I did not ask the question clearly.

I would like to read the UNMATCHED Forward and Reflected power on the antenna. This information would help me trim the antenna to resonance. I think that I can see the UNMATCHED reading by putting the ATU in the POUT mode. Is that correct?

I don't find this question addressed in the KAT2 construction manual but feel that at one time I have read it somewhere.

============================================

Is it correct that with the KAT2 set to read Pout, that I am reading the true
forward and reflected values from the match and not the ATU Corrected match?

I want to be able to read the Unmatched SWR.

Jerry,

See page 18 of the KAT2 manual (and the chart on page 21) for the full
details, but the 'CALS' setting will bypass the matching network and I
believe that is what you want to accomplish.
