[hpsdr] FW: Possible added feature request

[George Byrkit]

Back to the list...

I'm not surprised that such a device is available.  However, it isn't what John was looking for.

Yes, and likely using something like an Arduino or whatever you prefer to do this task, on your own hardware (John's stepper motors, for example...).  But such a device only needs a 'tune' trigger pulse, I would hope, to trigger it to 'tune'.

There is actually a auto antenna matching kit on Banggood right now

Maybe that and some interfacing could be the ticket
