AM SEEK and Automatic Capacitor

[G8PTN]

Hi Max,
Whilst looking at something else in the SI4735 library, I noticed that when the seekStation function is used (called from seekStationProgress), it will set the tuning capacitor to automatic for frequencies below 1800kHz.

This may affect the seek behaviour on ATS-MINI V3 in particular, where there is the JFET on the AMI signal path.

I know you have adjusted the RSSI and SNR seek thresholds, so perhaps there will be no issues.

If it is a problem, it should be possible to override the seekStation function with a patch that disables the automatic capacitor.

Alternatively, perhaps the ats-mini firmware based SCAN functions can replace the hardware SEEK?
