I'm not using the band data 2 for the auto tune, but otherwise as far as 
I can see it should work.
which is listed as not needed except for that function.

I do need to check the grounding, but the auto band switching should 
work just by changing bands.

I had a Tokyo Hy Power 1.5 KFX and the band switching was flawless.
