[Elecraft] Band data

[Jack Brindle]

I can answer that. By far the best way to get band data is to decode  
the frequency returned by an IF; serial command. Having the frequency  
allows you quite a bit of freedom in what you do with it, especially  
since you can create "sub bands" or segments within each band. This  
could be useful in determining if you are at the low or high end of a  
band or even outside a band.

It is also FAR, FAR easier to decode than the AuxBus information...

Now, having said all this, probably the easiest way to deal with it  
it to use a KRC2, which decodes either AuxBus or serial band data for  
you. You just tap into the various drivers (or the BCD output  
terminals) and use the information directly.
