"If it were mine, I would put the LP700 on the antenna line to monitor what is going on with the antenna itself."

My LP-100A is between my KPA500 and my KAT500.  I want to know what load is being presented to the KPA500.   Neither the KPA500 not the KAT500 can display complex load values.  Since the LP-500 and LP-700 are intended to sample amplifier RF input and amplifier RF output I would expect the amplifier output sampling to be performed before the tuner.  But no, I don't know how to do that with a KPA1500.  It would seem to require an internal modification and two additional rear panel connectors.
