[Elecraft] [KAT500] PC Data to Amp Control?

[Cliff Frescura]

Thanks Dick,

Looks like I could either have the KPA500 sniff the RS-232 line into the
KAT500 (use RXD pin only at the KPA500), or implement BAND0-3 and make it
minimally emulate a K3S into the KPA500.

73,

The KAT500 can read, but not pull down the 4 band change lines.
