Can the T1 be used as a remote tuner?
The T1 is intended for use near the operating position. But with a little effort it could be remoted, and its extremely small size would be beneficial for this purpose. First, the tuner must be placed in a weatherproof container if used outdoors. Second, controlling the tuner remotely requires a shielded control cable back to the operating position; this cable must supply, at minimum, a simple switch closure to wake up the tuner. Its also possible to create your own band-data interface from the rig to the ATU, as explained in the T1 Owners Manual. Finally, youll need an SWR bridge at the operating position since you wont be able to see the LEDs on the T1.
