Any advice or opinion? (Like this bunch doesn't have any of that)
You may have made the under-statement of the year.

The KAT100 does not have a relay to bypass the LC circuits. So, with
an existing match, it still needs to tune out its own impedances in
order to operate properly. If you know that the antenna is already
matched, you should tune the KAT100 into a dummy load, then use the
settings it works
Lee,
The KAT100 (note no dashes in Elecraft model numbers - except for the
N-Gen :-) ) does not automatically go to a bypass mode. If you tune it
into a 50 ohm resistive load, you may find it tunes to some small
inductance and capacity in-circuit and may actually increase the SWR a
small
