You may have a balun issue. I had problems too until I switched to the 1:1 /
4:1 hybrid (based on antenna analyzer measurements). And now, 160m matches
fine for me. In fact, I made over 200 contacts (FT8, and mostly stateside) on
160m last week.
The KAT500 is "supposedly" limited to matching up to a 10:1 SWR. That added
4:1 balun really brought the 160m impedance down to a manageable (and matchable) level.
My ladder line feed is about 160 feet, then the balun, and finally about 13
feet of RG8XU to the KAT500.
