never mind, i figured it out. i was not holding the adjuster button down long enough on
the a190. a single push makes such a minute adjustment that even after pushing it many
many times it didn't do much, but holding it down makes it move much faster so with
some fiddling i found a good scale setting. everything is properly in tune now.
thanks, psm
