Actually, OT-11P has 200 memories totally. From my point, seems like
enough.
Have no idea how it calculates frequency. However, I think it would
overwrite tuning settings for small resolution like 10kHz or something
like that.
I've been using Orion 565 with OT-11P for 2,5 years. This tuner works
like ones in Japanese rigs such as Kenwood TS-570. The pattern is almost
the same. The main reason why I decided to buy this one is that OT-11P
was two times cheaper than original Orion tuner. So I just saved some
bucks on that.

Sounds like a good method to me. I am curious about the LDG tuner. I
presume the LDG has a built in frequency counter to address tuning
memories for each frequency, or does it use a data connection from the
transceiver to tell it what frequency to tune to when using memory
tuning? In either case what is the frequency resolution? In other words,
if you were to tune it at 3.505 kHz and then again at 3.506 kHz, would
it actually store two separate tuning settings, or would the first one
at 3.505 get overwritten because the two are the same frequency when
described with a resolution of 10 kHz? Also, how many memories does it
have? Is the frequency resolution the same for all bands? It would make
sense to me to use smaller resolution on the lower bands. You might need
five different tunings to cover 80/75 meters and only two each for 20 or
15 meters. If there is plenty of memory available it wouldn't matter.

I did above initial tuning every 10 or 20 KHz across
each
band.
Then in 'normal' radio use and when changing bands or moving across a
band,
I 'tap' the Orion's Tune button. The LDG tuner quickly tunes (by
recalling
the match parameters from its memory) to the predetermined setting near
or
on that frequency in its memory.
