Yes the 9500 can do practically instant band changes if the op had
stored their user mems properly. If they stored correct tunings in
the bands/segments they're using and leave auto off, it can and will
do instant band changes accurately and quickly. I save my user mems
every time I use it as they do change a bit from day to day, be it
antenna differences or humidity etc., but if one gets into the habbit of
hitting the save button every time you tune up, it's good to go
with your ant system. Do not leave auto on if doing band hopping!
Auto is only meant to be a tuning aid and once you get there just
hit save. I see a lot of people leave auto on all the time! This
will greatly slow down band hopping as it will attempt to retune
as well every time. Read the manual!
