The tuner works on whichever antenna is selected as the transmit 
antenna.

It is not a memory tuner.  Tuning is very fast -- in my experience, 
typically under 2 seconds.  You press the TUNE button above the 
display, and the transmitter automatically comes on with reduced 
power.   When tuning is complete the transmitter turns off.

I looked when I had the box open, bu I'm brain dead tonight.  I 
believe the tuner is OEM'd from LDG -- LDG specs are typically 6-
800 ohm loads, 10:1 SWR.

So far, it works like a charm.
