[ICOM] CI-V "transceiver" mode?

[Mike - K8LH]

Hi Mike (and gang),

Thank you for the suggestion...  I actually tested the analog band data 
output first and I was dissapointed to discover it did not provide 
unique outputs for some bands (12 and 17, for example)...  I really 
wanted a decoder that would decode all 10 bands (160 through 6)...  By 
using the CI-V "frequency record" I can decode all ten bands with an 
antenna "memory" for each band (as well as each single MHz of general 
coverage spectrum)...  My controller also has BCD I/O for fully decoding 
(or encoding) Yaesu type 10-band BCD band data...

Regards, Mike - K8LH (Westland, MI)
