Any and all steps for lightning protection must be done OUTSIDE of the
structure. NEVER take any means to do lightning protection inside the
structure. After all, why would you want lightning inside your house? Very
bad idea.

Just a thought, you know, sometimes one wonders ? What / how, does the
remote station protect ITSELF from lightening? Does it stay on all the
time?
I know repeaters do so do they just EAT the damage or is there some
protection or maybe a telephone total disconnect command ? I can't be the
first person to think about this can I ? :-))))

For what it is worth... I am usually concerned about the cost of things.
If I have to pay $300.00 for a tuner I am going to get one good for 3KW.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Say I obtain the Omni VII radio and make good use of its Ethernet
control with OMNIVIIOnePlug program (and let's assume this works).
For total automation of the station, should I rely on the internal
antenna matcher or offload this task to an external automatic matcher?
In other words, should the extra $300 be spent on the internal matcher
or applied to other, perhaps more appropriate, matching gear?
There are a lot of correct ways to to this of course, but the opinions
of those with experience are helpful.
Thanks for any input.

Seems to me that if your are going to add an external tuner then you
will have to have a way to tune it remotely. With the built in tuner
the access will be through the One Plug GUI or if your antennas are well
matched you won't need a tuner anyway. Yes the remote operation does
work I have been running my rig from my laptop, although only from
within my own house, I think they would frown on me working DX from
work. Hi Hi!
