I am in need of a 2-5 watt range amp to drive an external amplifier,
the stock VHF MVP amp is adjustable from 8-25 watts output,
I think by bypassing Q202 I will be close to my goal. I need to know
where to connect the coax to keep Q201 from getting mad.
I have done this on UHF MVP's before but the VHF amp is coupled
differently between stages.

Try removing Q202 and placing a coupling capacitor between the pads
where the Base and Collector were. Something between 100 and 470 pF
should do it. I'd use a silver mica with short leads.
