Possibly they are referring to a UART that internally uses 16x oversampling, which is quite common, but that information is not normally needed in a description of communication parameters.


OK, Having read the manual on the antenna tuner and done some
research I have found that there is a box that connects to the tuner
and and a terminal.  My guess is that "Asynchron 16" refers to some
proprietary hardware/communications protocol used between the
antenna tuner and the GX007 control unit.
Considering the function of the unit, I expect the distance between
the tuner and any terminal would have exceeded RS-232 and the
environment could easily be too harsh for RS-232 as well (think static
electricity and even lightening!!)  An interesting device at any rate.
Wish I had one.  :-)
