[SMCARA] For Those Familier With FTdx-3000

[Bill Jones]

Ok, Will give that a shot tonight. I have the Threshold on the tuner
set to 2.0 (2 to 1). One other thing I have noticed on the 3000 and
not sure if this is an issue. On 80 Meters and using the external
tuner. I will get a High SWR warning coming from the 3000 even though
it appears the ProII is tuned and is set for Auto-Tune. Did have it on
a couple of other freqs until swapped out my main cable run for a new
50 foot run and everything improved. But curious if anybody else has
seen this when using an external tuner.
