Adam: "The internal auto-tuner must be disengaged when using an external
tuner."

I disagree with the statement, Adam... But perhaps you meant to say "The
internal auto-tuner must be disengaged WHILE ADJUSTING an external
tuner."... which I would certainly agree with. It would actually be
almost impossible to adjust the manual tuner with the internal tuner
active.  I often operate with both tuners in the line on 160 or 80 if
I'm barefoot... The internal tuner allows wider frequency excursions
before having to retune. Haven't smoked anything yet!

I would also add, it would be very unwise to try to use an internal and
external autotuner simultaneously.
