[Elecraft] K3: Band outputs to external decoder

Hi Gang:
#1823 is working well, but I need some advice.

I have previously been using a Yaesu 'MP with a TopTen band decoder to
switch antennas.
Comparing the K3 band0 to band3 outputs (via DB-15 connector) to the Yaesu
outputs, I thought I'd matched them to the TopTen, and made a suitable cable.

CONFIG:KIO3 is set to NOR
K3 BAND0 to BAND3 outputs seem to correlate to TopTen A to D inputs.
The description on P.19 says "This mapping matches that of some third-party
band decoders". I assumed that the TopTen might be one of those.

However, the TopTen does not respond.

Anybody else tried this?
Where have I gone wrong?
