John, I had something similar happen to me a couple of days ago. I did not experience the shut down you noted, but I did see the power setting flash on the display and then after that when I hit the tune button it would not self terminate (also did not hear the relays kick on the KAT100).
I did a shut down and turned everything back on but the tuning still operated the same, in fact most of the bands had exceptionally high swr. I found searching through the menu settings that the ATU setting was set to CAL instead of AUTO. I don't know how it got changed (I did not manually change it), I am assuming that when I saw the power flash on the display that it occurred then. Not sure what is occurring, but after setting the ATU back to AUTO everything went back to normal and I haven't seen a problem since.
