It's Elecraft magic!

Actually, it's not that difficult. We reset all the relays when a tune session begins, then adjust them as the magic algorithm proceeds. When the desired tune level is achieved, we save the relay state information in non-volatile memory for later use (next time we return to the band).

No doubt: ist works, but I have a question in mind. As far as I understand, the latching relays are switched back and forth by short pulses from the I/O-controller. But: how does the controller know the initial stage of the relay in order to switch to the desired position? How does the controller know the position of the relay after power failure with complete controller-reset?

Please help a curious man!
