I have similar ATU issues on 80 meters on version 2.5.1. Nothing is tuning correctly on 80 meters like it was in 2.4.9.

Hi Bill
            I think that a factory reset would be the case if if was on all installed versions but just to go back to a older install and worked I would say no. Why should I have to completely redo my system on a new upgrade, I am not being difficulty but I would like some answers.

I am using v.2 3.9 because any version higher had glitches with CW, QSK, Recording. Now I read the new DAX forgets that it already updated?

Mike, it is just a good practice. Mostly when people have strange problems that are not consistant with all users. 
It is not needed to completly re build your system after an upgrade, just import your profiles, in 3 seconds all is back the way you left it.

After any new upgrade, always factory reset your radio.....

Hope everyone who has encountered this problem with the new versions has submitted a trouble ticket like you did, with as many specifics as possible.  That way it’s sure to get Flex’s attention.

In the meantime, it might help to add a section of coax to see if it helps, since impedance seen by the ATU changes with feedline length (for non - 1:1 SWRs).  It doesn’t address the root cause, but easy to try and might in some cases get the impedance out of an “awkward place” as Flex put it.

BTW, I have a 80-10M OCF dipole.  It was a little tricky getting a match on all bands at first, and there a still a few ranges on that antenna which require an external tuner. 

Still on v2.4.9, and will probably hold off upgrading a bit longer for now until this is resolved.

I have seen this same behaviour as well since upgrading from 2.4.9 to 2.6. I find tho, that pressing the ATU button multiple times will eventually get it to actually look for and find an appropriate match.

I just had a problem with mine, then realized the MON button was lit.

As I noted before, I have the problem where I need to press the ATU button multiple times to get a 'reasonable ' match and I'm sure the MON button is off.

Another me too here... very difficult getting a match on the new 2.6.1 after upgrade from 2.4.9  Antennas not changed and checked out ok, so its definitely the rig tuning which seems to have changed. Usually takes several goes, like 6 or more to get a match, whereas before it was one pass and job done.

I will submit a ticket...
