Strange ATU behaviour

Hi,

I just discovered a strange behaviour with the ATU of my K3 (#1532). Setup is this one:

Till now, I never had this behaviour. When going to 160, it tunes and says 1.0 at the end of the tuning process. But when transmitting CW or just pressing the TUNE button, the SWR is at 2.2. Similar on 80m. Other bands seem to be OK.

Any ideas?
