Quite right Joe, since, as I said, the KAT3 is providing a low SWR between
the KAT3 and PA *inside* the K3. 

Now for another cup of coffee...

It the KAT3 is in use one can *never* compare the SWR displayed by the
K3 and that displayed by an external SWR bridge/wattmeter since there
will be an *impedance changing device* (the KAT3) between the K3's SWR
detector and the external SWR detector even if the length of coax is
zero.
