[Elecraft] [Elecraft_K3] Re: Prioritizing CAT control?

[Ken Arck]

Hi Don

What I mean by #1 and #8 is that from what I gather by reading the 
Manual, the K3S supports 8 different external transverters and the 
internal one. The externals can be assigned Band 1 through 9 while 
the internal can be defined as Band 0 through 9. As I read it, the 
ADR settings have to do with outputing a logic signal to select which 
external xvtr is selected. Again as I read it, this has nothing to do 
with CAT commands coming from an external computer (in my case, 
either WSJT or MAP65.
