[TenTec] Remote tuning knob/encoder for Omni 6

[Lee WA3FIY]

As far as you went they are similar but the 302 has 15 pushbuttons for various functions in 
addition to the encoder, the 301 does not.  The 302 sends a simple data byte(s) described in 
the programming manual for the Pegasus.  That data byte needs to be decoded at the radio 
to determine what the operator requested.

Gert must have built a circuit to decode the incoming data to make it look like a simple two 
phase encoder.
