The reason you are not supposed to do this is that the third harmonic of the BFO is picked
up and amplified, producing a spurious output just above the high end of 20m (I've
forgotten the exact frequency). I don't know about problems on other bands. I recall that
I checked and the spur was much stronger with the cable in TP2. Especially if you are
using a KPA100 or (worse) an external linear as well, you shouldn't do this!

Quick question regarding my 3000+ K2, I'm "struggling" to get the filters just
right so can I leave TP2 connected all the time? So, I haven't noticed any adverse
affects.....
This way I won't have to take the cover to try and new filter setting.
