KAT100 Remote Operation

[k4tmc]

Before I go buy a competing remotable antenna tuner - has anyone
developed a way to operate the KAT100 over 100 ft from a K2?

I want to put the antenna tuner up in the attic closer to the outside
antennas.

If LDG, MFJ & SGC can do it, why can't we?

Henry,

The limiting factor is the AUXBUS signal which has been tested to a 6
foot length.  If you can make it work reliably over a greater distance
than that, I am certain many folks would be happy to know how you did it.

MFJ, LDG, & SGC use different methods - they do not all provide 2
antennas and remember the settings for each antenna on all bands - i.e.,
they do it differently.

I have an LDG AT-200 PRO that works well.  Has LOTS of
memories and once initially tuned to a particular frequency,
acts really fast.  Takes just a portion of a "dit" to tune when
moving from band-to-band..  It's in a weather-tight box at the
base of a 75' top-loaded, fully insulated tower with 120 radials.  
I use it (only) for 160/80M.

LDG says it should work OK at -40 F.  I told him I'd let him
know. (:-))  There are four LDG's in our small community.
All are different models, and we all like them.

A caution ... The 100W SGC is rated for -only- 40W on CW.
If you're considering an SGC look carefully at the ratings,
regardless of model. Their ratings are for SSB.
