OK, I can repro the issue.

Tuning tuner 1 to 669 works, then tune tuner2 to 669 no lock. Set tuner #1 to 
579 is locks, then tuner2 automatically also goes into lock.

So, it depends on where tuner#1 was previously tuned to.

I'll look into this.

Save yourself the trouble of the RMA if it hasn't already shipped.
