see what we can do to facilitate it."
Did anything ever come of this? I've been considering it. The enclosure should
be no problem. It looks like a 12" x 12" NEMA box will hold it.
However, I don't want to rely on reading frequency to switch antennas. I have
enough trouble with faulting the KAT or KPA now with AUX Bus control and having
to punch some button or another to get everything back online. I definitely want
some direct connection to allow fault recovery. It's about 150' to my tower.
For direct control how much wire can be tolerated, either Serial or Aux?
