[1000mp] AUTO TUNER

[Earl W Cunningham]

Someone wrote:

"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."
----------
The way you should utilize the 39 tuner memories is to always use the
same frequencies when activiating the autotune mode.

The tuner remembers where the tuner settings are for a 25 kHz segment. 
If you retune using a different antenna, do the retune at the exact same
frequency you did it for the previous antenna and the new tuner settings
will go into the same tuner memory as before.

If you keep a record of which frequencies you use the tuner on, with care
you should never use up all 39 tuner memories.  This would allow you to
use up to 4 tuner memories for each of the 9 amateur bands covered by the
MP/MKV/Field.

If you change antennas, just retune the tuner on the same frequencies as
before.

"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."
----------
The main reason I developed MPMem is so that you can reload all of the
channel memories backj into the radio in case you ever had to do a memory
reset.  This freeware program is available for download on VA3CR's Web
