If I am understanding correctly, you want to bypass the amp and use
low power from the K3 into the tuner in order to tune the antenna.
Does the amp have a 'bypass' switch on it? If not, then you can put a
switch in the keying line to open it when you want to bypass the amp.
If you are looking for an automatic way of doing this, then obviously
this isn't it!

I think the answer is no, but I'll ask this question anyway.
The station configuration is K3 followed by amp followed by automatic
antenna coupler, where the Key Out line of the K3 is used to switch the amp
inline.
I would like to generate RF from the K3 without switching the amp inline in
order to operate the automatic antenna coupler at low power from the K3
before putting the amp inline. This mean generating RF from the K3 without
activating the Key Out line. Is there any way to do that using K3 controls?
