[Elecraft] KRC2 Band Decoder Controller - huh?

[Rick Tavan]

Switching bandpass filters in a multi-transmitter station (SO2R, M/2, 
M/S, M/M) is a key application. You can usually survive forgetting to 
throw a manual antenna switch. But transmitting into the wrong BPF is 
likely to fry it. A neat thing about the KRC2 is that you can control 
both antenna and BPF switches at the same time ... if you have such 
things, of course.
