[1000mp] AUTO TUNER

[roofus]

This question comes from the "Strange behavior on 80 meters" thread. I have
been afraid to ask this because it seems like a dumb question but it's time
to bite the bullet and ask. This is a snip from one of the replies.

Press SUB/CE and ENT together while powering up.  The will reset the tuner
memories (and all other memories).  It will not reset the menu settings.
You do not have to run TUNE for the antenna tuner every time you change
bands.  It remembers tuner settings 39 times.  It is suggested that you use
TUNE only two times for each band -- once for the low end (CW) and once for
the high end (SSB).  The tuner does a good job of tracking between these two
memorized settings.  If you do this, you will never fill up the 39 tuner
memories again.

Lets say I have a beam, B&W 90' folded dipole (10-160 meters), gap vertical
(10-80 meters) and for kicks toss in a 80 meter loop.  I do the tune routine
on the B&W dipole 2 places per band X 9 bands (10-160) = 18 memories. I than
jump over to the vertical and need to tune it for 75 meters and while I'm
there hear something on the low end of 20 so do a tune there. Now I go back
to the dipole and need to retune 75 and 20? At this rate with multiple
antennas how long does it take to eat up 39 memories, reset and start all
over again. From what I understand there isn't a program that will save my
other memory settings so they all need to be re-entered again....groan.  It
seems that with more than one antenna that a cascading type of tuner memory
would be better or am I really confused?
