[Elecraft] update

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

The S-Box is completely unnecessary ...

Configure the KPA-1500 to work with an *ICOM* transceiver (CI-V data)
and configure MK II to output CI-V data on the *AUX CI-V* jack (rear
panel).  The concept is identical to use of an Icom PW1 amplifier
with MK II as described in the application note "Using the Icom PW-1"

page at www.microHAM-USA.com/Support.html.
