I tried this a couple of times with my K3S. Didn't notice any
difference between the tuner active and tuner bypassed.
Tuner insertion loss is in the order of 1.0 dB or less when matched,
depending on which side of 50 ohms it is required to match. Very low Z
matches tend to show a bit more loss than values above 50 ohms.

I only tuned enough to not be on top of the station.

If I understand this correctly. It seems you set / tuned the ATU for a
higher frequency, being the 2nd frequency where you listened, then moved
back down band with out retuning. It would seem then the ATU would be
set for some frequency other than the one you were receiving. Yes,
going to bypass might indeed likely show a higher received signal.

I was playing with my K3S listening to code on 40m. I could
clearly hear the signal but it wasn't loud. I spun the dial up
a good bit and listened, nothing heard after about a minute so
I pressed ATU Tune. The ATU clicked a few times and stopped. I
spun back down where I was (somewhere around 7.033MHz) and
dialed in the signal. Sounded about the same. Just for grins I
did a long press ATU Tune (ATU) to BYPASS. The signal
immediately jumped over S9 (was around S7 before). That didn't
make sense so I repeated the process a few times with the same
results.
