[Elecraft] KRC2 question

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Don,

The manual says (on page 25 of rev C):

"The remaining four drivers, labeled A, B, C and D, are TTL-compatible
inputs or outputs depending on the operating mode. In normal KRC2 or
analog modes, the terminals are outputs. In digital parallel input
mode, they become inputs, and receive the BCD-encoded band data."

It doesn't specify that the output format is BCD, but I can't imagine
what else it would be...

73,

    ~iain / N6ML
