[TowerTalk] remote controlled tuners?

[Gary]

Actually with the LDG you can plug a USB cable into the 'radio' port they have USB/Windows software. I did not know that!

I do not see anything about bumping the L or C remotely though... And the data is sparse in general.

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..
