Not sure if you mean the KAT-2 or the KAT-100, but I drive both my amps
with the KAT-100s in line from both radios. I don't know how the tuner
would know the difference between an antenna or an amplifier input
network. I just let the tuner cycle (it's real quick) using the tune
button the first time I activate the amp. Then use the keyer to tune
with dits.

It's not a good idea to try to operate the tuner when driving an amp,
although sometimes it's useful if you are careful. Probably the best
thing to do is to tune the K2 into a dummy load and activate the
tuner. This will set the tuner up for a 50-ohm load. Then connect
the amp and do not activate the tuner. Most amps should provide an
SWR of 1.5:1 or less.
