Research direction

Start by reading the referenced HF-AUTO-Controller project and the AetherSDR code for existing hardware integrations. Determine how the Palstar HF-Auto should be reached through a direct COM port or VirtualHere USB-to-IP bridge. Done means AetherSDR can control the tuner through the supported connection methods.
