Not to mention the losses in the tuner itself. My K3 can almost
match on open antenna connection. If I were to transmit, guess
where all the power would go.

Once I tuned I was good for only about 2KHz. Any thoughts?
Antenna has been fine everywhere else.
What's the antenna? From the symptom, I suspect it's nowhere
near resonance on 12m, and the KAT500 is jumping through hoops
to get power into the feedline. And, if the antenna is a poor
match to the feedline (which is why it would need a lot of
tuning), the loss in the feedline is likely to be high.
