I recently bought an amp and find that neither the amp, nor a
typical antenna, is cleanly 50 ohms and hence there's work for
the tuner. If I enable the amp, I need to autotune to the
input impedance of the amp, if I leave it offline, I need to
tune to the impedance of the antenna. This requires two
different tuner settings.
You might try this: connect the two antenna outputs of the KAT100 to a 'tee'
connector and take the output from the common to the amp. Then tune up the
KAT100 with the amp offline using the ANT1 setting. Switch the amp online and
tune the KAT100 using ANT2. Then you will have two pre-tuned settings per band,
one for the amp and one direct to the antenna.
It's not automatic, but at least you won't have to wait for the KAT100 to tune
when turning the amp on or off.
