Very cool! ?Very promising results!
That sounds like it would be mostly just software at that point then! ?(Though I guess there¡¯s more to do there than I thought, you¡¯d probably want to not only load the saved value, but have logic to check that it¡¯s still low enough SWR in case the user changed antennas, and re-tune if needed¡
If we wanted to get real fancy, I guess a way to temporarily turn off the saved values, or clear them for when using another antenna at field day or something. ?But I guess that wouldn¡¯t add a lot and wouldn¡¯t be required.
The real question is since it requires a small hardware mod, if we get it working and the improvement is indeed worth it, can we get the Chinese kit sellers to start selling new kits and pcbs with the new layout? ?Probably need to come up with a new name to differentiate it. ? Too bad atu100m is already used for a different mod, m=memory would be perfect!
