Hi Gerry. I can get the same effect with an SB200. I've always assumed
that the reason is that when you change frequency in a band the tuner
moves with you with it's memorised values from previous vists to the
band. It is matching then to the antenna SWR rather than the now offline
linear. Switch to transmit and the ATU is still matched to the antenna
and you have a mismatch to the linear. The only solution is to do
without the tuner.
