Tom,
If you're using the internal tuner on the TS-2000, how can it tune the
antenna when the amplifier is in the path?
If you wanted to hook the meter up with the cabinet closed, you could
install a three-conductor jack on the back, with the meter connected to the
tip and the ring so neither terminal would be directly grounded.
