It's easier with a tuner that has lossy components. It's really easy with a tee
tuner with three adjustable components. There are many matching solutions, only
one of them is the lowest loss.

Phil,
It is indeed possible to match a very high SWR or even an open circuit

No practical experience with the KAT500 but can tell you that, years
ago, while guest operation at a contest station, a 160 meter vertical
was strung up between a couple of the towers. The operator went in and
successfully tuned the antenna to a 1:1 match and then loaded the KW amp

I got my second KAT500 tuner to use with my new backup rig and while setting up
and testing and tuning with my two different antennas I made a mistake.
I first observed the results displayed on the utility program operate page
