I have the 229 tuner, which I think is the same circuit in an older 
package to match the Omni/Corsair series.

I use my 229 with a Butternut vertical. I have a chart with frequencies 
and matching control settings. When I used these pre-settings, they are 
always close, but not exact. I then tweak up the tuning for the lowest 
SWR.

Due to changing weather, ground conditions, etc., I don't see how it 
could ever be possible to go exactly to the exact match, whatever the 
controls are doing. Just being close enough to finish fine tuning is 
great for me.
