I have no problem feeding the band data directly into Arduino input ports. (I homebrewed the antenna switch controller.) I wonder about the load from your antenna switch controller. You may need additional pullup resistors. The K3S manual says, "External pull-up resistors can be connected a voltage not exceeding 14 V."

F the K3 or K3s are lightly pulled up then fed thru a series resistor. Your decode must have adequate buffering in place to avoid drawing excessive current. A cmos buffer chip will do the trick.

Hi Folks,
I thought it was me, but I guess not... When I hook up a cable to the ACC plug for band data output, I get about 4.8v (slightly less than 5v). When I hook up the radio to any antenna switch that has band data input, the voltage goes down to 3v. This is not enough to drive the antenna switches. This is a new KIO3B board, so is it a bad board? Is there something else not set right that I am missing?? I didn't anything in the manuals..
