Ok, my final conclusion (i promise).... Manually adjusting the L and C values of the ATU DOES have an effect on BCB reception (had my RF gain turned down before, so seemed like there was no difference). Maximum L (17.35 pH) gives maximum received signal strength on a short antenna, as expected.
However, you can't adjust CA and CT independently. And checking all of my pretuned bands the values for CA and CT on any given band are equivalent (which seems odd). Furthermore, merely selecting between CA and CT with the ANT button while in LCSet mode has an effect on the received signal-- a couple of s-units difference between the two is what I noticed. (But I don't think it is the antenna relay being switched, as mentioned before.) What I want to know is, are the displayed values for CA and CT correct, and can they be adjusted independently of each other? BTW, I am using F/W ver 2.13.
