You can read SWR and power as seen by the K3's final amp on the K3's 
display.

If you connect an external meter it will tell you the SWR on the 
feedline after the KAT3, which is interesting, but not what the K3's 
final is seeing. Power readings will possibly be wrong, because many 
meters don't read power accurately when SWR is high.
