Now I do not have an Eagle, but every auto tuner I have used, (LDG, and
the internal tuner on my Yeasu FT-950) the memory tune feature you do
not force a tune. One the LDG it sinces the frequency and it goes to
the last tune in memory for that frequency on the first carrier it
receives. On my FT-950 as I tune the VFO and the "tuner" is on, it will
automatically change the tuner as I spin the dial. But if I force a
tune it will start from scratch and find a tune.

I'd welcome some comments on the internal Eagle AT (Model 599AT).
Here's mine: On 3570 KHz, where my MFJ-269 shows the old trap doublet
has an SWR of 2.7, the Eagle took 15 seconds to tune. Leaving it on
that 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.
On 40m, where the SWR is 2.1, tuning takes 7 seconds.
I know the old antenna here at the camp needs work... but that
behavior on 80 doesn't seem right. The manual (p. 37) says the AT is
"designed to recall the last tuned setting for a given band." Maybe I
don't understand how that memory works, but I don't think the MFJ-293B
that I have at home would behave like this.
