Hello Carlos,
Your story is a real story which happens all over the world.
Had to face that problem about 20 years ago, after a lot of struggling,
decided to move.
Have my stand alone tower today, but not sure what the rules might be
tomorrow.
Moving is one sollution. ( but only do it if you are sure the new place is
ok )
Second possibillity, remote control. Kachina is one of them, make the rs232
connection with a bleu teeth sys ( wireless connection on some SHF channel
with a few milliwatts.)
Such a system was yet the object of my end project when graduated (1968 at
the age of 34 hi ).
Sure there must be some people who realized this in practice.
