[Elecraft] KAT3 - Antenna tuned or not?

[Robert Tellefsen]

Hello Tedd
The problem is your external SWR meter is just that,
external.  The KAT3 provides a 1:1 match to the
K3, that is, between the KAT3 and the K3 TX.  Your
external unit is on the unmatched side of the KAT3
and, of course, sees no change.
Trust the KAT3 to get the job done, and set aside
the external unit.
Good luck and 73

> I am attempting to tune a Zero-Five Vertical with the KAT3.  How do
I determine if the KAT3 has found a match?  I see the SWR on the K3
close to 1:1and full power out but my external SWR meter is still 5:1.
Thanks.
