how to bypass atu?

[Bill Allen-6]

I was wondering what is the easiest way to bypass the ATU in the K2 so that
it can be used with an external AMP?

Bill,

Try tuning the ATU in a 50 ohm load.

Bill,

Set the menu to ATU CALP or ATU CALS to bypass the LC section of the KAT2.
Similarly with the KAT100, set it to ATU CAL.

As usual Don has provided the correct direct answer to your question.  
However, I'm wondering if it would not be desirable to keep the tuner in the  path
to the amplifier.  I believe it will assure a measure of additional  filtering
for spur suppression and match the amplifier input exactly.  Just  a thought.
 I don't think there is a down side to keeping the tuner in the  circuit.
