[Elecraft] Interfacing Ke with MFJ929?

[Dave Lankshear]

I wonder if anyone has interfaced a K3 with an MFJ-929, used as a remote
tuner?

 

One of my antennas is a doublet fed with 450 ohm ladder line.  The ideal
place for a tuner is at the base of the ladderline and I intend to
experiment with a variety of baluns to see which work best on which bands.
I have a suitable housing for the auto ATU and balun(s), which may end up
being switched remotely.

 

The auto tuner can be set to an automatic mode whereby feeding a few watts
of RF will generate a tune before adjusting power output of the K3 to the
required level, but I wonder if this can be done in a more automated manner?

 

Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
