It is possible that you have bad coax, a bad connection or water ingress in your antenna system. It would be interesting to see if a manual tuner remains stable.
John KK9A Bill w2blc at nycap.rr.com Thu Feb 4 19:39:04 EST 2016 for the antenna that I know are not correct. So far as RF in the shack - I might consider that - if things had not been working correctly until abut a month ago. Nothing has changed until then, causing all the efforts and modifications to isolate the problem. Other rigs - with ATUs - are working just fine with the entire station. Everything RF is brought into the house to a well grounded bulkhead. Longest run from any rig/amp/tuner is 6 feet to the bulkhead. Interconnects are all as short as possible. Equipment is all connected to a central grounding point. In other words - been there and done that out of habit. Tonight I am running barefoot with the antenna running direct to the K3 - all is good. Tomorrow I will try to get everything back to where it was before this mess started and tune when I QSO as a routine and forget whatever else the tuner is supposed to do. Sure reminds me of what it was doing when I first got it. A manual tuner will be ordered very soon and the KAT500 removed from the lineup. I don't see a magic bullet on this - thanks for all the ideas.
