Cannot make autotune work
I posted this on the Facebook page and also trying here.
Using 8400M SSDR v 4.1.3+. Was excited to see the CW autotune function become available. But I cannot make it work. Tried it using the radio face, SmartControl and SSDR for Windows. Nothing.
I set it for Intermittent and click the Autotune button, which turns blue, but the frequency bar never moves, no tuning to a cw signal.
Set it to One Shot, click the Autotune button and it briefly turns blue, but the cursor never moves, no tuning to a cw signal. I held the Autotune button and it stays blue as long as I hold it in but no tuning action.
What am I doing wrong? Yes I have factory reset the radio several times. All the other new feature are working.

I think I found the problem. You must be within 40-50 hertz from the signal and the signal strength must be a minimum of s9 before the autotune will work. Is that correct?

I also find your Summary matches my experience: Close, and Strong. Then One-Shot works nicely.

I think the idea is more of a "zero-beat" on the signal. At least that's how it looks to me. If you are close to the signal, hit the Autotune and it put you exactly on the transmit frequency.

My understanding is that one-shot will tune to the strongest signal in the passband. The closest signal may be the one you want if you are chasing a DX station. I posted about adding the "closest" option which would be a good enhancement. See the discussion here;
