Matt,
The T1 can be tuned with a carrier (CW, digital, AM, or FM modes), or
with speech (SSB modes). It re-tunes quickly from memory once an
initial match has been found on each band, so even speech-based
retuning is practical.
The optional T1 remote-control cable for the FT817 makes things even
simpler. Once you've tuned up the T1 on all bands, a band change at the
rig will recall the right tuner L/C components on each band without
transmitting.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

I just purchased a new FT-817ND, and I intend to use it with an
Elecraft T1
antenna tuner. What's the best (i.e. proper) method to generate a
carrier
so the T1 can tune? Is there some menu combination that outputs a
carrier
or ? I realize that I can simply hold down the keyer, but that will
produce
either a series of dots and/or dashes... not a continuous tone.
Suggestions
for a newbie?
