I posted a response in the Flex-1500 forum in response to another posters question. I said I didn't know if it worked but realize that someone MAY have done it, so here is the question:
Let's say you have a brand specific auto-tuner that reads the CAT setup on your rig and pretunes the antenna so you don't have to transmit. Now here's where I want to know if you've done THIS. Have you used VSPE and set up a 1 to many port where your computer puts out the CAT signal from PSDR to a real Com port and you have taken this com port / CAT signal and fed it to your autotuner and this sets up your tuner without having to transmit?

I think that is not possible, since it is a factory setting and interfacing with a direct computer port may lead to many problems, let alone the solution we are expecting for the problem at hand. I guess some alternate way definitely exists for such a job.

I don't think you are familiar with VSPE and what it can do. I'm looking for someone who does and has tried this, thanks.

OK, thanks, I looked at the utility and what it accomplishes BUT I think VSPE does the same thing, if I read the manual correctly. And I already use VSPE - just not in the 1 to Many mode of Com port transmission. I could add DDUtil but if I can find out that VSPE is capable then why add another utility? Hope someone with an autotuner that is connected to their FT-817 or maybe a T-2000 will try it an tell me before I purchase one.
