Yes there is one 'tool' that is assumed for the alignment steps, and that is
a dummy load.  Every hamshack should have one.  If you don't have one
already, I suggest the Elecraft DL1.

Also very useful when the rig is up and running. I'm not certain about the K2's antenna tuner, but the KAT100 has two antenna coax connectors and I keep a dummy load connected at all times to the 'Antenna 2' connector. By switching to ANT 2 the K2/100 can be checked quickly at full power without causing annoying QRM, although leakage across the KAT100's relay does allow a milliwatt or so to get to the antenna feeder connected to the 'Antenna 1' connector.
