I plan eventually test this, but I may just end up running this tuner as a "dumb" remote ATU where it regularly has to do a full cycle anyway. We'll see how things end up.

 +==== Honesty Moment ====
 +I did use generative AI to help me with this sketch. I'm not super great at putting this kind of stuff together in a clean fashion. Between the work of those before me, and banging my head on the keyboard, I was able to get sequences that worked, and got the tuner doing what it needed to do. Once I got that far, I used Anthropic's opus to clean it up.

 +If you don't like that, I understand, and you should be able to use the above descriptions and resources to write your own methods.
