I can explain why the tuner has to retune on the same

frequency, a minute or so later a second try also took 15 seconds. A
third tune, on the same frequency another minute later, took 10
seconds." Clearly the operator asked the ATU to perform a second and
third tune routine on the same frequency. Why? No needed to do this
in my experience.
Thanks, Bob and others, for a helpful discussion. I understand it a
little better now. As to the question quoted above, obviously there's no
operational reason to ask for a retune on the same frequency; it was an
experiment to see what the tuner would do. (As I recall, if the 293B
back home were asked to do this, it would just blink for a fraction of a
second, indicating it already had a match.)
I agree with Bob on the "value added." Space is tight here at the camp,
and I appreciate both eliminating an external tuner and being able
conveniently to use the mobile bracket to mount the Eagle to the bottom
of a bookcase shelf (QRZ dot com photo). (No plans to mobilize the
Eagle; I use a 706IIG for that. The detachable face plate is a great
feature.)
