> Does anyone know of an interface between the K3 and an Icom > 2KL/PW1 amps for auto band switching?
Your question has two answers: For the 2KL a BCD to 1 of 8 decoder can switch the necessary voltage dividers to create the analog (stepped voltage) band data signal needed to switch bands with the 2KL or 4KL. The W9XT "BCD-10" is capable of providing the necessary "switch to ground" signals to easily drive a set of voltage dividers in this application. However, unlike most of the other Icom accessories, the PW-1 will not switch bands based on the analog (stepped voltage) signal and requires specific frequency data from the Icom CI-V "transceive" broadcast. . I know of only three devices in current production that will translate Elecraft (Kenwood) CAT data to the Icom CI-V format. They are: microHAM Station Master (PA control function), the microHAM microKEYER II (auxiliary CI-V output) and microHAM MK2R or MK2R+ (accessory serial function). The now discontinued microHAM Band Decoder is also capable of providing the CAT translation if you can find a used one. 73, ...
