Be sure you are talking Apples and Apples here. There may be an Orange in
the mix!

The responses you've gotten for calabrating your SWR to match the external
meters are assuming you are putting your tuner in bypass mode. You didn't
say that, and may not be doing so. What you said was "press[] TUNE". The K2
SWR meter will normally read the SWR between the Radio and the Tuner. Your
external meters will read the SWR between the Tuner and the Antenna.

There may be nothing wrong at all.

You might want to adjust the KPA100's R26 and R27 to agree with your
external
meters.
