Back a bit, I had the need to drive a remote switch and something else with the BCD band data. For me there was simple PIC based solution. BCD input to PIC. PIC programmed to switch to appropriate antennas . Input BCD data echoed to other PIC outputs. PIC outputs buffered by a ULN2003's or

As I recall, it is a standard LS TTL style open-drain driver, which means it has a fan out of about 10 LS loads. You should be able to connect several devices. Be sure they do not have pull-ups that are connected to higher that 5 volts (some band decoders have pull-ups to 12V). The K3 has intern

Using band data mode, I've simultaneously driven both the KPA500 and a Top Ten Devices band decoder from a single K3 with no problems. 73, Bob, N6TV On Fri, Mar 10, 2017 at 2:38 PM, NOEL POULIN wrote: > Hi to all, > I am on the way to connect a Bandpasser2 (band data mode) on a K3s. > Later I w
