Mr. Mike, Be sure you have the KAT3 internal ATU "enabled" and not bypassed, be sure the proper antenna is selected (ANT 1 or ANT 2) for your random wire, and press (momentary) the ATU TUNE button. The relays will clatter a bit, and you'll see the displayed SWR ratcheting down, maybe up for short time, as a tuning solution is searched. If the SWR isn't low enough for your tastes, press the ATU TUNE button again within 5 seconds of the conclusion of the previous attempt's end, and the ATU will try again, often with slightly improved result.
Don't be surprised if you experience RF gremlins in your shack with a random length wire without a counterpoise.
