[Yaesu] Band Data connector splitter for 1KMP

[John Tait]

Hi Ted.
              I do exactly that. I have a homebrew band decoder 
connected to my FT5K Band Data socket. I recently I added a new SPE 
1K-FA amp. I just connected a pair of female in-line sockets in parallel 
with a male Band Data plug. It works fine, except for one small snag. If 
I switch the power off on the amp, my band decoder doesn't work, unless 
I unplug the Band Data cable from the amp.
