KAT3 matches pretty well, as good as Z11Pro.

The only issue with KAT3 vs an external tuner is dealing with common
currents. Many baluns including BL1 and BL2 have high losses at high SWR and
become very hot. With an external tuner you can create a very effective
balun by wrapping a jumper a few times around a toroid. Very good isolation
and now warming. However having KAT3 is convenient as it tracks frequency
changes and tuning is one button push.
