Charles, I have tried that method ... ditto setting L and searching for best C. It works but is no better than the one I am using now which is to begin with both L and C at 0 and then search for the best C for every L as L increases from 0 to max. The searching is done in large steps

R6 is currently uninstalled ... I am still trying to do the CALn null adjustment ... as I said, instead of having HI showing up continuously, I know have only '000' on the display. (I don't know if this is significant, but the manual says the display should look something like '075 ATU' but I
