Hi,

if no ATU is connected to HL2 and tuner is disabled (Hardware -> Antenna tuner = None) the ATU listbox on the main panel shows "ATU". If the listbox is clicked the text changes to "No ATU". I think it should show "No ATU" from the beginning in such case

Hello?Jaroslav,

The Hardware -> Antenna tuner == None item refers to an antenna tuner attached to the end plate of the HL2. The "ATU" button on the last line of the screen refers to an antenna tuner attached to the IO board. I will correct the documentation.

Hi Jim,

thanks for fixing the docs. But I still think the code also needs update. I think if no ATU is available, the GUI should from the start shows the "No ATU" message. Now, if Quisk is started it shows "ATU" and if you click the listbox the message changes to "No ATU" and stays "No ATU". I.e. it should probably try to query the ATU on the Quisk init and set the message accordingly

Hello?Jaroslav,

I do see your point. But it is not easy to do. First, the HL2 does not know if there is an ATU. The "No ATU" message appears if there is no IO board. And the bottom row with the "ATU" message is created before the PC can query the HL2 for the existence of the IO board. And since the query for the IO board relies on an I2C transaction over UDP, the time this will take is not known with certainty.

I don't want to complicate the code, so I am inclined to rely on the user to know if she has an ATU or not. At least the "ATU" label means that if the user has an IO board with an ATU attached, the control is there.
