Locked wspr band hopping issues

Paul Simon
 

I have been trying to use band hopping between 20M and 30M to compare propagation changes.  Retain power and tune power are both checked. I have two problems; after a while tune power reverts to a very low  power. I use an MFJ 993b autotuner which will not tune at 1 watt or lower. Secondly tune activates randomly, turning on after band change during listen periods.  I currently use 1 watt and need  a higher level to tune and secondly, mismatched SWR results in poor reception.  I need tune to come after band change.

I am currently using V 2.0.1 on Windows 10 and Ubuntu. 

 I've read the manual which has not helped.  Any assistance would be appreciated.
