"But, this means that you keep the 998 in auto-tune mode, right?  Do you 
have any issues or problems with it auto-tuning during a single frequency 
QSO (that is, once tuned)?  Another problem I have is that I want to run two 
rigs (switched of course) with a common auto-tuner."

I use a MFJ-998 with my K3 and ALS-600 amplifier.  I also initiate tune with 
a 15 watt tune signal from the K3.  I I leave the MFJ-998 in the auto mode 
all the time, and have never had an issue with it trying to retune during a 
QSO.  However, should something happen in your antenna system resulting in 
the MFJ-998 wanting to tune, it first takes the amp off-line by interrupting 
the amp-key output from the K3 before tuning starts.  It you use two rigs 
with the common autotuner, just make sure you also switch the amp-enable 
line from the transceivers and pass this through the MFJ-998.
