As do the microHAM Station Master and the original "Band Decoder" if
you find one of them on the used market.

Dunestar inputs to the appropriate KRC2 terminal outputs and you will get
automatic band pass filter switching.

I don't think the dune star uses bcd signals. It needs outputs from a
relay driver to select the appropriate filter. It can be set to either
sink or source.

Thanks, Dick.
Dummy me opened the tuner first and posted my question after reading its
manual. Had I opened the AMP box first, I would have had my answer as I
found the Y cable. Perhaps,
there should a mention of the Y cable in the Tuner manual as well.
Thanks again for your help. My plan is to remote the whole thing with the
K3/0 which is still in the box. I have some work to do on my old Remote
Rig boxes that are now connected to the IC-706.

If your K3 is now providing band data to your Dunestar, it probably is
using
a band decoder from the four BAND lines on the K3 ACC connector.
The Elecraft KPAK3AUX cable set

20Instructions.pdf<http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KPAK3AUX%20Cable%20Set%20Instructions.pdf>
)
includes a Y connector that enables you to connect the KAT500/KPA500 as
well
as another device (your existing band decoder) to the K3's back panel ACC
connector.
Be careful when selecting a Y connector; some sold for VGA monitors may
not
have all 15 pins connected as you would expect.

Subject: [Elecraft] Dunstar Question
Current configuration: K3 ---> Dunstar ---> Alpha 87A
New configuration: K3 ---> Dunstar ---> KPA 500 ---> KAT500
Question: How do I control the the band switching on the Dunstar? Is
there a
way to parallel the Dunstar from the K3 Acc? If not, which is better?
Disconnect the Amp Aux or the Tuner Aux?
This is an SO2R station. Second station is: K3---> Dunstar ---> ACOM 2000A
