Would not the same band info work for the Herc II Amp? It's a daisy chain
with the 253. Thanks, Bob K4BG

Dave,
I recently completed a band decoding interface for the TenTec model 253
Automatic Antenna Coupler. The 253 requires a voltage of +10 to +14 VDC
at
3 ma on one of seven pins to select the preset tuning information for up
seven memories on each of four switch positions (28 memories). Originally
the voltage and pin selection was provided by the TenTec transceiver, but
the OMNI-VII does not.
I used Commander to provide BCD via the computer parallel port to the
(solder pads ABCD) UM BCD-10, the band is decoded (J1 1-9) which then
pulls
down pin 2 of the selected (band) 8L01 DIP Relay, which upon contact
closure
outputs +12 VDC on pin 14 to one of seven Band Select pins on the
#86027-26
to the 15 pin Molex® on the rear panel of the model 253 tuner. Pins 6 and
8
of the 8L01 DIP Relay are at +12 VDC supplied by +VR of BCD-10. The UM
BCD-10 receives +12 VDC from the OMNI-VII Power Supply.
