I'd guess the others do too. You can also use the "calibrate" function, but I like to turn mine off and on after a tuning pass if I've used the pitch raise feature to be sure it recalibrates before I do a fine tuning. There is a scenario where the pitch can reset without you realizing what has happened, but it has to do with the way you use the "measure/reset" feature and changing from memory mode to tune mode. If you aurally check intervals regularly, you should catch it before you have to redo too much. Even so, a semitone reset is pretty unlikely unless you tell it to do that on purpose.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I had similar wonderings back when I was just a young fork basher myself :-)</DIV><DIV>Jeff</DIV><BR><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Jeff Tanner, RPT</DIV><DIV>University of South Carolina</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
