The internal automatic antenna tuner automatically
matches the transceiver to the selected antenna. After
the tuner matches an antenna, the variable capacitor
settings are memorized as a preset point for each fre-
quency range (100 kHz steps). Therefore, when you
change the frequency range, the variable capacitors
are automatically preset to the memorized setting.

When you purchase a brand-new antenna, or you
want to change the antenna settings, you can erase
all of the internal antenna tuner preset points with
“Tuner Preset Clear” in the Set mode. (p. 87)
