there is always the chance that your antenna begins with too high an swr =
for the internal tuner to fix . .=20

  Hi Paul....couple of thoughts.
  Try it on a dummy load.
  Also...reset the antenna tuner memories, and try it again.

  Anyone experiencing the following

  I used my MK V on 10m for first time this weekend to catch the PW0 .

  When I press the tuner button (momentarily) to engage tuner, it works =
as
  advertised on all bands except 10M where the SWR pins the bar graph =
and will
  not resonate and then times out after about 1 minute.

  The ant is a 3 el beam with <1.8 across 10, and the SWR without tuner
  engaged is good.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  I followed the manual reducing then pwr out control to 9 o'clock and =
leaving
  the tuner engaged for 50 sec when it times out.
