[Elecraft] on the topic of autotuners - "the ability to mount them remotely"

[Darrell Bellerive]

Yes, an option that fits where the KAT2 or KAT100-2 would go and that would 
convert the auxbus, and whatever other power and control signals would be 
needed, onto the coax to the remote tuner.

Be nice to have the best of both worlds, a tuner in the K2 and a remote tuner 
as well. Or at least an antenna connection at the K2 for resonant antennas 
and the antenna connection for the remote tuner.

300 feet would be a good maximum distance for me.

I know this thread has been discussed before, so I won't belabor the point, 
but, how about it Eric and Wayne: a KATR2 and KATR100 (The "R" standing for 
Remote)?
