What's the antenna? From the symptom, I suspect it's nowhere near
resonance on 12m, and the KAT500 is jumping through hoops to get power
into the feedline. And, if the antenna is a poor match to the feedline
(which is why it would need a lot of tuning), the loss in the feedline
is likely to be high.
