[Elecraft] KPA Aux cable

[Phil Theis]

Wayne,
I hadn't noticed that when I first set this up (years ago).  I will try, 
don't see why not.  Only exception is that my 6m is TRN, but that 
shouldn't matter since I won't use the KPA on 6m.
Thanks,
Phil K3TUF

My band data is used for transverters with Config:KIO3 set to TRN.   If these lines are not used and band information is derived from AUXBUS, then do we really need the four band lines in the cable going from KPA to K3?
