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,

Prices will vary from area to area. Here, the grain alcohol at the liquor
store is priced less per unit volume than a similar concentration isopropyl
alcohol at the pharmacy. The last 750 ml bottle I bought was about $12, and
I was quoted about $10 per pint for isopropyl.

Nobody has mentioned denatured alcohol yet. Since it also is not
drinkable (more than once), it does not have any liquor tax and is quite
a bit cheaper than Everclear. I'm wondering if there is some reason NOT
to use this product, which I believe is mainly ethanol and methanol.
