[Elecraft] KPA-1500 Antenna Tuner "Hunting"

Last night in NAQP I noticed that on 80 meters my tuner would hunt
endlessly, calling for tune power, then finishing, then asking again
with the ATU IN LED blinking. I retrained the memory on each relevant
band segment, and that stopped the hunting, but I noticed that instead
of QSYing smoothly from one segment to another when I would pounce on a
CQer, it would go through a tune cycle before settling down in normal
operation. I don't think this is normal, but don't know what to do.
Should I erase my 80M segment memories and reload them?
Oh BTW, I was not running the amp last night - just using the tuner.
I'm a good boy.
