Thanks to all who replied! 10 minutes after emailing, I found the answer in the manual! A bit fuzzy with the flu here - maybe I should get some rest before I toast something in my K2!!!

Hello Geoff,

I have a quick question, as I have been using an MFJ tuner to a balanced feedline on a doublet, and have not built a balun for the K2/KAT2 yet. Is there a bypass mode for the KAT2 such that I can use an external tuner? ATU AUTO, of course, causes the KAT2 to go thru a tune cycle when pressing the TUNE button on the K2.

Yes, its possible. If you use the KAT2 as SWR/wattmeter only, the matching network is disabled/bypassed. Switch your KAT2 via the menu to CALS (for SWR display) or CALP (for power meter).
