"Extremely easy to do manually and stable." It is only because my 160 and 80 m OCFD is being modified frequently that I decided to develop the auto trainer. It takes multiple actions to tune a single bin and there are 20 bins for 160 m. If a multi-step task needs to be done infrequently the effort required to automate it is not justified. Do that task several times a week and the effort is easily justified.
Actions to auto tune at current frequency: 1. Inhibit the key line and wait for confirmation of inhibit 2. Initiate KAT500 auto tune (FT;) 3. Set Kenwood to TX Tune and set auto tune power 4. Wait for KAT500 FT response which indicates tune is complete 5. Set Kenwood TX Tune power back to 5 w then command RX 6. Wait for confirmation that TX has stopped 7. Enable the key line Since that sequence had already been assigned to a single button push it was not too difficult to repeat it for each bin in the current band.
