The KAT500 needs at least 20 watts for effective tuning. Apparently
your antenna system is breaking down at some level below that.
Inspect all insulators and feedline connections.

Thanks Tom for your feedback. I did conduct the test and down to 2 watts the
KAT500 still searched for a tune.As I indicated when connected direct the K3
ATU finds a reasonable match at the any power level from 2 to 100
watts.Regardless, it still points to the antenna as the problem. Will check it
out further.Thanks,Bill - W0BBI
