6000 series control for LDG external autotuner?

On my 1000 PROII, unless the swr is above 1.7, it won't auto tune. Also make sure it is in auto mode.

The Z100Plus is a simple small box with latching relays that draws no power when not in a tuning cycle.  It doesn't have an auto mode -- it expects a human or transceiver to tell it to perform a tune operation.  The only "auto" feature of this device is the 2000 memories for recalling previously tuned frequencies.

I don't believe the 6000 series radio have any way to trigger your tuner automatically. For remote operation, a 120v relay plugged into a wemo mini wireless switched outlet may be your best answer. The idea being you would energize the relay, which would kick off the tune cycle. If you use a wemo switch, they are supported by Apple HomeKit, which in turn is supported by SSDR on iOS software. Good luck, Ken

To expand on my first paragraph, the 6000 series hardware does not have an IO pin that is under software control that could be used. I suppose, if you aren't afraid of voiding your warranty, I buy something could be rigged off the internal tuner board connections - of course, such a device would have to convince the radio the board was installed, then somehow capture the ATU signal to retune as needed. Might be best to consider an upgrade/replacement tuner.
