John, If the KAT100 is used with the basic K2 (no KPA100), then the KAT100 will provide the forward and reverse power indication and those values will be displayed by the K2 during a TUNE.
When the KPA100 is connected those forward and reflected values come from the KPA100. A similar calculation of SWR is done in the KAT100 to display the SWR on the LEDs. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/31/2012 9:28 PM, zen...@netspace.net.au wrote: > I've just finished building and calibrating a KAT100 to go with my K2 > / KPA100 combination.
