Curt,

Good luck with the new toy.  If I remember right, you are using a short 
vertical.   It will have a narrow bandwidth on 75/80 meters.   You may 
want to do swr checks every 25 khz or so across the band and see if 
there is a resonant point within the band.   This band is so wide and 
antenna bandwidth so narrow that you  may be trying to auto tune in a 
portion where the swr is too high for the auto tuner to match.
