Think maybe if you hook the Jup up to an antenna that has some swr and the
Jup tunes it, that might tell you something? Also if you hear some clickity
clickity sounds that might be another clue.

Subject: [TenTec] Jupiter Antenna Tuner Question
I recently acquired a Jupiter in nice condition. The previous owner
listed the radio as not having an automatic tuner, but when I go into
the menu I can see an option to turn it on and off. When the option is
set to off and I press the tune button, the Jupiter transmits as
expected until I press the button again. When I set the option to on
and press the tune button it acts like it's trying to find a match
(transmits for a second or two) and then stops on its own. I can't find
anything about this in the manual but does this mean the radio actually
has the automatic tuner? I use an external tuner, but it would be nice
to know this in case I ever decide to sell the radio (fat chance).
Thanks,
Jeff
