Hi. I don't know the T1, but...
The WSJT programs are all open source, so you can do anything you want/need to do with them, subject to tools and skills availability of course (the latter is often the stumbling block for most of us, sadly.)
The SoftRock kits: The embedded micro controller they use for USB<>I2C work, may have a spare pin or two, or you can hang another I2C I/O chip on the I2C bus (a PCF8574 for example) to get generic digital I/O ports. I've done that to control a bank of band filters between the antenna and a SoftRock here. The hardware was fairly simple, re-engineering the software however, is an "ongoing" project...
The other way might be to check out what Hamlib has hiding, as that is used with the WSJT programs for rig control. Maybe, there is something in there that can send simple one byte values to a simple UART IC, that you can then pull some identifying code from, to poke the T1 tuner to change bands. Sadly, Hamlib on Windows is usually embedded in the main program, so you're stuck with what it has already.
With the KX3 (+ K3, and other Kenwood remote like radios) you can also put the rig into AutoInfo mode, where it will spit out (among other things) the working frequency periodically, and when things change. There are other kits and products about, that can decode that info, and set/clear a small array of I/O bits, specifically for changing antenna's, and kicking ATU's into life. It does add to the overall complexity however.
There is bound to be a WSJT support list/forum somewhere, you could ask on that to see what may be possible already to suit you needs.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] T1 Operational Question Message-ID:<[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Hi Wayne, Thanks for the reply, but??. you are supposed to be wrapping Christmas presents!!!:-) Understood about the size and cost thing. Unfortunately, it pretty much means that it is actually a ?semi-automatic? tuner. And, since the band changing is being done from within a program K1JT?s WSPR, I have a feeling I?ve got no way to do the remote control stuff per the manual. I?ll investigate the feasibility of user mods to WSPR, but not holding my breath at this point. Thanks again, and have a happy holiday. 73, Jim
