You can tune the AT into a dummy load (on ANT2, let's say), and then not tune it to the antenna ever. Then, if you are on ANT1, the tuner will use it's remembered settings for that band and antenna. If you switch to ANT2, the tuner will use it's remembered settings for the band and dummy load (which is the same as bypass for all intents and purposes).
Actually, it may BE the same. I'd have to check the relay settings for POUT vs tuned to a 50 ohm load, but they might be the same. Anyone know?

I must be missing something. Let's say the KRC2 is operating a relay box connected to port 1. Then it will select an antenna for each band (we'll assume that these are the tuned antennas). You can connect ONE other antenna to port 2. Unless you have two relay boxes, which I guess is possible. Were you thinking of something else? I have a KRC2 and a KAT100 and have been thinking about the most effective way to use them. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
