Jim, I think Paul is talking about something different here. On Page 18
of the manual it describes tapping the ATU Tune button again within 3
seconds of completing the initial tune, to get closer yet. I just tried
it, and it works well so long as you have trained the tuner for both
antennas on every segment. Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to
actually transmit the first character at full power when changing
antennas or QSYing bigly. I understand the tuner bypasses the amp until
it has determined which setting it should use, which it can only do by
learning what the load looks like by actually sending power into it.

Yes, and this is exactly what the manual says to do -- before using
the amp, train the tuner by tuning at multiple frequencies in each
band, AND for each antenna that you use on that band. The tuner is
smart enough to select between multiple "trainings" when you use more
than one antenna.
