[Flexradio] Auto Tuner Anomolie with F3K

When tuning into a dipole antenna on 40 Meters with the auto-tuner, frequently 
I get high swr.  If I re-initiate tuning, the swr might go down....or up.  I 
initiate tuning several times until I see an swr of 2:1 or less.

I am using the firmware, driver, and SDR 1.18.3 as received with the F3K this 
fall.  I have not updated anything.

The antenna appears to be dry...as dry as you can get here in Bequia where it 
is hot and a bit humid.

Any thoughts?

BTW - have been operating mostly CW.  The filtering is absolutely astounding!  
When I generate a pile up, I narrow down the filters and am able to separate 
the signals.
