[Elecraft] K3 Band Data

The question was specifically with respect to BCD output - 
not Aux Bus.  Neither the microHAM Band Decoder not Station 
Master require any modification (or care about the BCD 
coding) if the serial (CAT) data is used for band decoding 
but that wasn't the question that Jan asked.    

Another respondent mentioned an specific band decoding device 
from one vendor.  My response was to provide the data about 
the other available products that Jan was likely to be using 
as well as get the full information into the archives so 
another person searching for the same information in two or 
three years from now was not left to wonder about compatibility 
with devices other than one specific product.
