And, especially if it was cold out, you had to do it again in 15 minutes, then again in half an hour, and then hourly after that as the set warmed up. All our Jeeps in the FGH had a hole cut in the back tarp so we could tune the ATU without having to leave the (semi-) warmth of the jeep.

I have a little foldout pamphlet around here somewhere....a pocket size foldout "aide-de memoire" to tune and use the C42.
