ATU question

[w0mu]

This has probably been brought up.  

The ATU seems to stay on regardless of band.  I would prefer the antenna
tuner be band dependent if it not.

Yes, this has been brought up before. I'm not sure what behaviour would suit everyone though. Personally I would prefer it to be antenna socket dependent, because I have an antenna that requires an external tuner on ANT 2. It doesn't bother me to have it in circuit on ANT 1 even if it isn't really needed on some of the bands that antenna covers.
