Lyn,
I think you are 'getting caught up in the semantics' - let me try a
brief explanation.
Once the tuner knows the proper L/C combination for each frequency bin,
it will switch to those settings in MAN mode. It will NOT try to autotune.
If you switch to a different antenna on that particular antenna port,
you will have to 'teach' the tuner again, which means going back into
AUTO mode and transmitting in each bin's frequency so it learns what the
L/C combinations are for each bin. Once that has been done, switch to
MAN mode and operate.
If you are using a remote antenna switch, things get complicated, but if
you have only 3 antennas, it is easy.

Thanks, Rick. I try to pay attention to all those points, and really haven't
seen this behavior until today.
I still find the distinction between Auto and Manual modes a little fuzzy. Are you doing
the "teaching" in Auto mode, but saying that operating should be in Manual mode
... like I think you're saying? Do you change the default setup, which has both boxes
checked for QSY re-tuning?
And then this:
" Then you put the tuner into manual mode; which still adjusts the matching values
as the frequency changes BUT disables the retune feature."
How does it adjust the matching values without retuning? Are we saying just
tiny little baby-step fine tuning? Or am I getting caught up in semantics?
