external tuner control TX3

Post by KC3KOP »

Hi,
I am new to flex and power sdr. I am running a 5k with ATU. I have a external tuner I would like to use when running an AMP. I notice on the Setup Transmit tab that there is a check box "TUN uses TX3 Jack" I was wondering if anyone has any idea if that could be used to trigger a LDG Tuner?

I originally added that feature hoping that I could force my MFJ-998 to start tuning on a TUN, but I found out the MFJ-998 needs to detect the Freq first before it will tune (which is an issue if your ant is not close to resonant) so in the end it didnt help me. But I left it for anyone who might need it.
