I have several of the original six band Top Ten Band Decoders. I rewired my old Yaesu cables to accommodate the K3S and it works great for automatically switching bandpass filters and antennas.
John KK9A Rick Tavan rick at tavan.com Sun Jan 10 13:33:27 EST 2016 Another nice solution, especially for more complex stations, is the new Band Aide band decoder from Top Ten Devices. The optional K3 ACC cable provides clean integration or you can build your own. You can do "wire ORing" internally to let multiple bands select the same multi-band antenna. The box provides front panel LEDs for 160-6 band selection including 60 and WARC. It has a rotary switch that offers manual selection of an antenna other than the one normally selected for a band and five optional positions that leave the default selection active but also activate a separate output line that can drive an external relay to select among alternate antennas on a band. It's simple to use in basic stations and flexible to use in more complex situations. I have two in my SO2R station and like them very much. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
