Chuck, While you cannot have one antenna set to bypass and the other one for tuning - there is an easy way to accomplish that. Since the K2 and K3 tuners remember the settings for each antenna jack separately, just pre-tune the one you will not use for tuning into a 50 ohm dummy load. Then when you select that antenna, the tuner is effectively bypassed.
In practice, not all antennas are well matched on all bands - and that is particularly true of electrically short antennas, so you would likely want tuning on both antennas anyway. 73, Don W3FPR callen1155 wrote: > Thanks guys for all the info. > > I have one other question about the ATU use with two antennas. > > Say I have two antennas connected to the ATU , one is a dipole (non > resonant- need the ATU to 'match') and the other antenna is a Hustler BTV6 > (which i've just purchase having never used a vertical) which is supposedly > resonant across all it's operating bands.
