Hello All (especially Scott @ T-T)
I'll second Wayne's request for an autotuner kit a `la SGC 230 - how about
with:
1. Environmentally "rugged" like the '230 for those of us who wanna put it
out in the snow, rain, etc.
2. Provide the means to tune/drive balanced feeders (optional is OK.) Even
better: provide a means to vary the balun ratio, e.g., 4:1, 6:1, 9:1
(not necessarily instantly changable - a "build this way for this ratio"
is FB...)
3. (Getting esoteric here) Provide a means to provide operating voltage
via the coax feed (perhaps the "other one" does so, I don't know.)
Provide an optional feature of sending some functional info back to the
operating position - "tuning in progress" LED, "matched <1.X" LED,
"mismatch" LED, etc. - seems this could be an add-on to the basic kit...
Thanks and 73 all!
