Earlier I had stated my KAT100-1 was displaying random SWR LEDs on 30 meters.
My antenna is a Carolina Windom 80 with approximately 70 feet of RG8X coming
off the bottom of the lower balun to the shack. (There is an additional 22
feet from lower balun to the off-set center conductor.) A light bulb turned on
in my head and told me to try some extra length of coax on the feed line. I
added an extra 4 1/2 feet which the KAT100-1 really liked. Now it tunes 1:1
SWR on all bands and the KAT100-1 works to perfection (only the leftmost green
LED lights up). The Bird 43 wattmeter between the KPA100 output and KAT100-1
input verifies this. Sometimes a simple solution is right under your nose.
