Tom Yes, the 5000 does CAT commands but the MFJ tuners do not. They only interface with the Kewood antenna tuner connector which is seperate from the CAT connector. I do not have one but from the other e-mails, it sounds like the Palstar understands Kenwood CAT. Jim K5HY > Date: Fri, 21 Mar

Hi Tom, I run the 5000a with the AT-AUTO. Works great. The setup goes like this. I have the 5000a cat port in PowerSDR set to com 16. Com 16 is paired with com 6 in N8VB's vCom driver.

Jim, I reside in a garden home and have really strict CC&R restrictions. I found sufficient space to erect a long wire in my attic that is, counting the vertical sections at each end, about 54 feet long. I used #14 insulated wire from Home Depot and staple it directly to the "ridgepole". T
