Ummmm ... maybe I misunderstand you, or you know something I don't know,
but why do you switch the KPA500 to standby before initiating a tune
cycle on the KAT500? I set the K3 tune power such that I get 25 W from
the KPA500, and tune with the KPA in Operate all the time. My KAT500
seems to like about 25 W, 20 W is kind of right on the edge.
I "trained" my KAT500 when everything was dry, and I run in MAN, so it
just recalls the settings when I QSY. This works for the tribander and
a GAP Titan vertical. My low band sloping V has a matching section made
from window line which is affected when it is wet, so I need to retune.
I just tap TUNE on the KAT, hold TUNE on the K3, let it tune, and then
tap TUNE again on the K3.

So, I must switch the KPA into Standby, and the retune the KAT.
