Related to this, can anyone clarify how the VL-1000 tuner is supposed to
handle things?  I  know that mine never retunes automagically, I always
have to push the TUNE button when moving to different frequencies or bands,
even if it is to the same "channels" often used.  I assume from this that
it has no memory of previous settings.
