[Elecraft] K3 and IC-PW1?

One update to that particular thread .... 

Although the PW-1 has an input for the stepped "band voltage" 
on the ACC connectors, it is not connected anywhere inside the 
amplifier.  The only way for the PW-1 to bandswitch with the 
K3 is by using a CAT translator (Elecraft/Kenwood to Icom). 
The only devices known to provide that function are the 
microHAM microKEYER II, MK2R/MK2R+, and Station Master (or 
the discontinued Band Decoder).
