Just click on the TUN button to generate a tuning tone with the ATU in bypass mode. That should give you a carrier to tune the external tuner with.

Maybe there is a better way. There is so much to learn about this great system and so easy to miss or misunderstand something. I do appreciate every ones input. Thanks.

I am running a flex 5K with the flex tuner installed. I want to be sure that I connect everything properly so that my equipment is not damaged. I am not sure how to deselect the internal ATU in order to use the external automatic tuner. Simplely unchecking the Use TUN check box on the ATU tab dosen't do the job. I have looked through the knowledge center for information but didn’t find what I needed. Any guidance you can provide on how to connect this equipment will be appreciated.
