Hi, in fact there is no suitable remote legal power limit ATU on the market provides all required functions and capabilities. I am looking for it for long years. Even overpriced gears available are just stupid unusable boxes unfortunately so I agree that something as You are talking about capable

Petr, Even though I am the one who started this thread with my question, I need to find out your opinion about the new Palstar Auto Tuner. It is pretty good from what I read and if you read the reviews they are mostly very good. Apparently there had been a few new product type quirks that
