[Elecraft] Diode Matrix for Band Out on K3

  Lee,

Unless you are only trying to decode a few bands, I would find the 
decode very difficult (if not impossible) without the use of inverters 
to provide both a true and an inverted output for each of the band 
outputs.  It is much easier to use a 4 to 16 de-mux chip like the 
74HC154.  One will do 160 through 6 meters and another (with an inverter 
from ACC pin 7 can decode the transverter bands as well.
