Many tuners add SWR even in bypass because the path through is not 50 Ohm.
Actually, the fundamental cause is that those tuners use the chassis as
the signal return, which adds inductance to the path. The switching
relays also add inductance. A proper path

I've never run into this problem, and I've used it a lot on 6M. There is
a menu setting that may help (or cause) your problem. I don't recall the

Bob,
Did you QSY after tuning? If so that would explain what is happening -
you may have moved out of the band segment that you used for the TUNE.
See the lower half of page 9 in the KAT500 manual.

You may want to 'train' your KAT500 on all segments of the 6 meter band.

Howdy K3' people:
There is an 8-element yagi connected to the KAT500 for the K3 internal
6m selected 6m antenna.
I set KAT500 default antenna for 6m to Ant2.
On the KAT500 I can press 'TUNE' then tap K3 "XMIT" and the KAT500 will
usually settle on or about 1.1:1 .
Then when I .run a WSJT, Data,
