[Elecraft] KAT500 and a FTdx1200

[Mike Flowers]

Hi Gang,

 

I'm helping a relatively new Amateur who just ordered a KAT500 for use with
her Yaesu FTdx1200.

 

I've read the Elecraft paper: 'Yaesu FTdx1200 with KPA/KAT500 Power Combo'
which describes the setup for the KAT500 Basic Mode with the FTdx1200.

 

I'm wondering if there is a way to establish a more robust interface between
the FTdx1200 and the KAT500.  

 

The FTdx1200 presents BAND DATA A, B, C & D at the rear panel LINEAR 10 pin
output jack.   I'm wondering if anyone has used this data to interface with
the KAT500.

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
