Changes in this revision:

 

.         Experimental change to avoid early search termination by a
transient SWR dip. Pause for exciter fold back recovery and average over
more coupler samples when tuner setting is "best so far" or reaches "stop
tune" threshold. Tuning stutters a bit, but sometimes a better tuning
solution is found.

.         Experimental change to Icom AH-4 Start to perform Auto Tune to
avoid full search tune on each Icom TUNE button press

.         Perform memory recall tune on transition from mode BYP to MAN or
AUTO

.         Speed up some tunes.

Improve button handling when Idle Sleep is enabled.
