Hi All

I agree with an Autotune amp it likely not quick enough (if its motor
driven), but with a preset amp using relays or actuators with about 100mSec
total switching time i.e. disable Amp TX , enable band change , do band
change, enable Amp Tx Low power ,check VSWR, enable QRO Tx). . It is
feasible (my own preset amp has been going for 20 years) , however it's very
loud! when changing bands as in keeerchunkkkkk.
