Andrew,

I would suggest that you take your KX3 to the aluminum skinned trailer 
and tune you antennas on all band segments.  The take you KX3 with KXAT3 
into the house shack and do it all over again.  The 100 foot of coax 
will make a difference in the tuning.

If all goes well, problem will be resolved and you can use either of the 
Elecraft rigs with no problem.
