[1000mp] AUTO TUNER

I was thinking along this line also - but have the MkV and didn't know how
similar the MP is. My experience is that the rigs TUNER should be DISABLED
when you are working it into a "good load", which would be the input to an
amp, an external antenna tuner, any similar load which is close to 50 ohms.
