True. That is a possibility, of course ... that on 12m the voltage
maximum just happens to hit a weak spot in his feed system. In that
situation, adding some feedline could shift the maxima to a location
better able to handle the high voltages. I think I'd still want to find
that weak spot before I did anything else, though.

I was stating what worked for me on 80m. It shifted the voltage peak to
another portion of the feed, though the SWR was the same.
It brought the apparent SWR without the KAT500 from 24:1 down to a range
that was more acceptable to the tuner.
With the collection of 'stuff' that most of us collect, adding a chunk of
coax or window line is simple enough to try.

He said that his SWR on 12m was already low, so I don't see how that
helps a lot.

Try altering your feedline length (which means resetting the KAT500
memories
too). I had a similar issue on 80M.
