Test it one more time with a 50 ohm dummy load on the output to make sure you don't have a problem between your antenna and KPA 500 SO239 output connector.

It sounds like it is arcing inside and smells the classic something is burning smell. SWR LED's are dancing upwards as it arcs. KAT500 tuner has the SWR around 1.3:1 I will probably send it off to Elecraft but thought I would ask here for suggestions to look at before I send it off.
