The KAT500 utility will show the LC values in play after tuning (and
caps on/not on the antenna side) . I expect that the KPA1500 utility
will do the same thing; I'll know more next week when I put the KPA1500
online (the new station and shack are almost completed).
I keep the entire station, including the KPA500 and KAT500 utilities
running 24/7/365; this allows simpler remote station operations. Plus
it's nice to compare the SWR on both devices (though neither has ever
been different from the other); belt and suspenders. I don't keep the
amp(s) on all the time, just when I'm actively using the station.

MFJ-998 seems to tune anything. I am always trembling that it will smoke, but
for 5 years, no smoke. Even matching 80m dipole (fed by ladderline) on 40m.
It has 2 outputs and keeps matches in memory. Getting it to tune at
frequency previously tuned takes a fraction of a second. If both antennas
were used at same frequency, tuning for one antenna automatically brings
tune in the second. Very convenient for A/B comparisons.
The tuner displays L, C and SWR.
