ATU behavior between 15m and 17m bands

Just noticed that when switching between 15 and 17m, ATU does not switch to byp. Seems to work properly switching back and forth from other bands. Not sure if this has been previously reported.

    Has anyone else noticed this behavior, or am I the only one?

    Software 0.13.10 I just switch from 15m (ATU-Success) to 17m (ATU-Success). Yup you are right. I should have had BYP when I switched to 17m and didn't. Inverse same thing. Tune showed SWR way to high until ATU pressed. Good catch Mike

    Thanks Dave: You got it; I forgot to add that you have to engage the ATU (sucess) on the initial band before the behavior shows up. -Mike
