tuner (ATU) to tune a multi-band antenna to the newly selected band.

possible in an automated way, whenever _WSJT-X_ executes a successful
band-change command to a CAT-controlled radio, it looks for a file

IMPORTANT: The use of the PATH (and PATHEXT on Windows) environment
variables is a new feature. To emulate previous behavior make sure
that the location of your user_hardware script or program is on the
