[Elecraft] K3 Band Data

[Phil & Debbie Salas]

"Is the K3 band data compatible with Yaesu (ex:FT1000D)
BCD band data. Looks to me that it is, or? 73 Jim SM2EKM"

Yes it is, EXCEPT remember that the K3 band data outputs are open drain, 
whereas the Yaesu output is TTL.  So your external band decoding device 
needs to have internal pull-up resistors unless you've performed the TTL mod 
that is discussed in the K3 ALC mod document.

I have an Array Solutions BandMaster decoder.  This unit has internal 
pull-up resistors, and works great with the K3 open drain outputs when I 
strap the BandMaster for "Yaesu".
