No serial interface..

It's actually a current product from LDG - and yes, anything that has the CAT interface has a serial port, but it would need reprogramming..

Will the MFJ-933B read the power back? I know you can bump the L or C with the remote control. I used to have one in a box out by the antenna, but that was a couple shacks ago.

Subject: [TowerTalk] remote controlled tuners?

I'm looking for an antenna tuner that has explicit remote control of L and C, and able to read the forward and reverse power back.  LDG doesn't make the AT200PC any more, which had a serial port control to set the Ls and Cs, etc.  Most "remote tuners" have a "tune" input and that's it.

The PAL-STAR HF AUTO has a RS-232 control, but is kind of overkill - I only need 100W kind of power handling capability, and its really not designed for remote mounting.

I suppose I could get something like a MFJ 939 and reprogram the PIC
16F76 inside, but a) it's probably soldered in, and b)I'd rather have something off the shelf.
