Peter,
I upgraded mine a year ago and have plotted the VSWR as shown in the
attachment I sent to you. My only suggestion is to make your adjustments
with the antenna on a ladder or short pole about 10-15 feet off the ground
if possible.
As you can see in my graphs for each band the swr takes off just above the
phone band. So if your measurements are flat considerably above the phone
portion maybe you have to adjust your elements "out" a little.
I will say that I assembled mine according to the specs with little
adjustment necessary.

Subject: [TowerTalk] KT36XA SWR PROBLEM
I recently converted my KT34XA to an M2 KT36XA.Now I have a 2.0 SWR at
14.000 and 28.000.I have rechecked all the dimensions over and over but
cannot find any thing askew.The phone portion is ok.I have tried different
wattmeters,cable lengths,baulns etc.At about 4 feet off the ground the swr
is abt 1.5 but as soon as its gets off the ground to about 20 feet the SWR
climbs.M2 cannot determine what is wrong.Anyone have any ideas? Pete,NO2R
