[WriteLog] MK1100 and band decoding?

[Jerry Pixton]

Clive,

The Top Ten Devices Yaesu band decoder does indeed work directly off the 
LPT ports of the W5XD MK1100. I have my keyer in series with my IC756 Pro 
II and a Top Ten Yaesu decoder fed from the keyer lpt port. That way I get 
unique band decoding so my band pass and band stub filters get used on 15m 
and not on 17m, etc. One of the very major downsides to Icom gear.

Jerry, W6IHG
