Hi Michael, You can use the "AK;" command to get the KXAT3's relay states. The response format is AKaabbcc; where: aa = inductance IO bitmap in ASCII hex bb = capacitance bitmap in ASCII hex cc = misc relays bitmap in ASCII hex The <aa> and <bb> bitmaps can be equated to L and C values by looking at the KXAT3 schematic. For example, a value of "01" would represent the smallest L or C value in the network. At present only bit 0 of byte cc is defined: 00 = capacitors on antenna side 01 = capacitors on antenna side If the ATU is not installed, or is in one of the Lx/Cx test settings, “AK000000;” is returned. In BYP mode, on some bands L and C are set to fixed non-zero values in order to cancel the ATU's own reactance when working into a 50-ohm load. In AUTO mode, the working auto-tuned values are shown. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ 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
