I think Don meant *POUT* mode won't work because it retains the L/C setting. CALP mode works fine bypassing the ATU, and this is what I normally use. In fact, I assign the ATU mode menu setting to the PF1 key so I can easily activate/deactivate the KAT2 depending whether I am using the KXPA100 or not.
