Of course it doesn't appear to work in parallel with the KPA-500
(both devices connected to the BCD data on the K3) according to early
reports on one of the Elecraft lists. I suspect that's because of
different voltage and logic levels ...
Both the Elecraft KRC-2 and microHAM Station Master work just fine to
control any of the commonly available remote antenna switches - with
all modern radios and amplifiers.
Station Master can even provide "in band" switching (switch taps on
a vertical matching network or loaded yagi) and amplifier PTT delays
for transceivers like some Icom models that drop PTT while still
making RF.
