I find that the SWR feature under the hardware tests menu works very well for tuning (and power level of that SWR test is configurable in the setup menu to boot!), though it’s a bit tedious to access for your frequency in question, even if you’ve been in the menu just a minute ago. It would be great to have a shortcut from the operating screen. For anybody doing band switching, I suspect it’s more used than the presets or the A<>B functions (the latter of which has tripped me up a few times)
. Moving the GPS menu item out of the way in the hardware menu would help a bit for starters, but the functionality also suffers from pulling only off of VFO A frequencies, defaulting to a band you’re not operating in, and sometimes resetting your VFO frequency (possibly the worst culprit is the 60m band) when you back out of it.
But it works great both for manual tuning needs as well as triggering an auto tuner, since it’s not a sweep by default. That function has been fantastic, just has some usability quirks at present.?
