INSTALLING IT THERE WOULD GROUND YOUR ANTENNA AND LIKELY BLOW YOUR FINALS IF
YOU WERE TO TRANSMIT!

-------------------------

I doubt that would damage the finals. The K2 and K2/100 are very rugged
designs. I know that I've transmitted into an open load (infinite SWR)
accidentally with no adverse effects at both 15 and 100+ watts. . 

In any case, when changing setups, it's smart to *always* check the SWR at
low power first to ensure things are as they should be. 

Of course, not hearing any signals when the antenna was connected might be a
good "first clue" <G>.
