That would be of interest to more than a few, I would guess. For such a low
resolution, I think I could do it with a few resistors then a follower, but
it would be nice to know how others do it.

Does anyone use a K3 with a PW-1 setup to autoswitch the AMP as the K3
changes bands. ? Just replaced my 756 Pro II with the K3 and am
wondering whether it will be simple to operate the Amp as before.
The Icom series communicates band data by a variable analog voltage on a
single
line. The K3 (and Yaesu, etc.) communicate band data by digital signals
over 4 lines.
What is needed is a converter from the BCD from the K-3 to the various
levels
needed by the Icom. I built my ownYaesu/Icom interface for my FT1000MP.
When
I got my K3, all I had to do was change the connector on the radio end of
the cable.
If you want to build one for yourself, I can send you my notes and
schematic. It's
easy, but not trivial.
I believe there are commercially available units that will do this job.
