[Elecraft] Best way to connect K3, P3, Steppir, Acom 600s and PC

[Don Wilhelm]

Alan,

Not having that amplifier, I cannot give you a positive answer, but I 
can tell you how to determine if the BAND DATA outputs of the ACC 
connector will band switch the amplifier.

What you need to look for is "band decoder" or something similar in the 
amp manual.  There may even be a chart of which codes will activate 
which bands.  Compare that with the chart of the coding on the BAND 0-3 
outputs of the ACC pins.  If they match, then all you have to do is make 
up a cable to send the right bits to the amplifier.
