Dear Ted:

I've had similar experiences and always use aural checks on all SAT
tunings. I have not tried to understand why. I just figure that any
machine can go wrong at any given time and so use machines to put me in
the ballpark quickly and finish the each interfval by ear as I go along.
Any aberrant readings get closer attention and are noted on my customer
card for the next visit.
