Thanks, Myron -
I've plugged my paddle (tip = dit, ring = dah) into the side jack of the tuner.
I can press the Dah (RING) contact and after 2 seconds while in sleep mode, it
appears to enter tune-ready (blinking green LED) condition.
During blinking green LED condition, application of 5 watts of carrier at 3.5
MHz yields no tuning activity.
I tried this -
Press/hold DAH until steady green LED
Release DAH button while steady green LED
Apply RF, no sign of activity from the tuner
As that test yield no new information, I tried "info" (using the front panel
buttons, not the keyer paddle input) -
Response (in CW, with yellow LED) - "L0" followed by brief red LED flash about
1 per second, persisting for about 30 seconds.
Swapped battery (existing battery reading 8.83V open circuit; replacement
battery reading 9.11V open circuit.)
Same responses.

I have to push and hold the tune button until the green LED blinks from an
unpowered state. If you mess with the buttons and get a blinking Yellow, you’ll
have to wait 4-seconds until the tuner goes asleep. The tune function can only
be invoked from a sleeping state.
Once you get it to blink (ready for tuning) if you continue to hold it, the
green LED goes out and enters the Deep Tune mode where it will go through an
entire search algorithm for lowest possible SWR once you apply some RF.
If that isn’t working, replace the switches because they’re probably worn out
and bounce. This will cause symptoms you have too. I get around that by
plugging in a 3.5mm TRS cord to the side and a set of paddles. Push the DAH key
for 2 seconds to get the green led to blink. That’s how I do remote tuning; I
have a 20 foot cord. Neat
