[Elecraft] digout1

[wayne burdick]

Correct, Van. The default for DIGOUT1 is floating (high resistance), or 
OFF. If turned ON for a given band/antenna, it will provide a low-Z 
path to ground to control an external switch. You may need an 
additional series resistor depending on the switch type.

Among other possibilities, DIGOUT1 could be used to turn on an external 
preamp (like our PR6) or do supplemental antenna switching.
