Hi

I usually tune my jap rig (Yaesu FT 100) with an aototuner;
the foldback saves the finals.  My Omni V requires the
time-tested method of adjusting the manual tuner for lowest SWR,
raising the power and repeating (just asi the pi networks did on the old
tube rigs).
If the SWR is too high, the 960 shuts down.
On the Yaesu, I use CW to tune the rig; much quieter (and legal; see FCC
rules about
superfluous communications).
