[Elecraft] K3 vs RigExperts SWR meter issue

[Alexander Sack]

Hello:

I just bought an AA-54 RigExperts analyzer.  I am tuning a Buddipole
which I use with my K3 (25+ countries and counting).

The RigExpert says my SWR is 1:2.5 at 14.200Mhz.  I also scan the SWR
curve with it and I see that I am 1:3 or lower a couple of 100hz
around the 14.200 center frequency.

I hook my feedline up to my K3, put the KAT3 on bypass, set VFOA to
14.205Mhz and ask if the frequency is in use.  I immediately see "HI
SWR" on it.  I can definitely use the KAT3 to tune out any reactance
and my SWR/RF look reasonable (I hit 100on the RF Scale and the SWR
meter doesn't go above 2).

What am I missing here?  I am trying to compare the SWR meter on the
K3 against what the RigExperts claims as a learning exercise (1.5
month old ham here).
