Many tuners tried to match anything. At the borderline most of the power stays in toroids and the tuner smokes.
Perhaps KAT500 like MFJ-998 reduces the matching range at higher power. You may try 1:1 balun. I use MFJ-998 at KW level with 80m ladderline and 1:1 balun. No problem matching 160-80m. On higher bands almost all bands matched with homemade 1:1 balun but fewer with heavy-duty 1:1 commercial balun.
