I have noticed the same funny reading around the same notes. When I
got my first Accu-Tuner about 3 years ago, I was a little surprised
to see that. As an aural tuner, I have noticed a very similar
reaction in my ears. It is often a little harder for me to hear the
beats in that range. That is also the reange that seems to give us
more of a voicing challenge.
