At one time, I think that I recall, that there was some reference to
a model of this tuner that could be remotely mounted and would be in
a weather resistant enclosure.

My personal philosophy is that this is the best (only?) way to use an
antenna tuner. Now that automated tuners are being implemented by
most manufacturers, I hope to see more being remotely capable.

Hi,

Look here for a few pictures of my installation:

Warning: The picture files are large. This installation has been in place since last December and is working very well. It has survived subzero temperatures as well as 90 F heat. The spot is almost completely shaded from the sun. The only wires going to the box is 110V AC and coax. Control of the box is with the utility over a wireless serial server by Lantronix (on the top of the stack). I tried using an Ethernet server, but it was rather bad with birdies.
