Thanks Jim!
Sorry I should have clarified, when I was testing / comparing the
KAT1 to the MFJ I had the KAT1 set to CLP which bypasses/disables the
tuning. I know if the KAT1 is set to TUN then it's not going to
present 50 ohms on the antenna jack.

If you have the KAT1 in the K1 and have the MFJ meter connected to
the output of the K1 you are looking at an inaccurate reading on
the MFJ because it is located between the antenna and the input of
the tuner. The only place to read it accurately would be to place
your MFJ meter between the KAT1 and the K1. This is almost
impossible to do. Since you are between the antenna and the KAT1
your MFJ is not looking at 50 load and the reactances of the
antenna that are tuned out by the tuner are destroying the
accurately of the MFJ Meter.
