Barthold,

No, the KPA500 will see the SWR at the *input* to the KAT500, and that 
is what it will display.
The tuner will attempt to create a low SWR when it tunes.
The output side of the KAT500 will be the SWR that is presented by the 
antenna feedline.
The KAT500 Utility will show you that bypassed VSWR value even though 
the KAT500 is not bypassed.
