Possibly they are referring to a UART that internally uses 16x oversampling, which is quite common, but that information is not normally needed in a description of communication parameters. OK, Having read the manual on the antenna tuner and done some research I have found that there is a box that connects to the tuner and and a terminal. My guess is that "Asynchron 16" refers to some proprietary hardware/communications protocol used between the antenna tuner and the GX007 control unit. Considering the function of the unit, I expect the distance between the tuner and any terminal would have exceeded RS-232 and the environment could easily be too harsh for RS-232 as well (think static electricity and even lightening!!) An interesting device at any rate. Wish I had one. :-) bill
