[K3] ARI-500/K3/MARS Frequencies

[Steven Pituch-4]

Hi All,
I would like to use the Ameritron ARI 500 with my ALS 600 and K3 to
automatically switch the ALS 600 to the correct band.  I know this will work
for the ham bands but wonder if it will work for the frequencies between the
ham bands for MARS work.  The ALS 600 uses the following band edges: 160M
(1.5-2.3), 80M (2.3-4.4), 40M (4.4-8.0), 20M (8.0-14.5) etc.  I am wondering
if the K3 uses the same band edges.  For example if I operate on 2.4 MHz
will the K3 send the BCD output to the ARI 500 for 80 Meters, or possibly
160 meters  So I guess what I am asking is whether anyone knows the defined
band edges for the K3 that go out the BAND (0-3) pins of the accessory
connector.  Thanks in advance.

Also wondering how the 60 meter band data affects the ARI 500, since the ALS
600 does not have a 60 meter position.  Does the ARI 500 pick the 40 meter
or 80 meter position for the ALS 600, when the K3 is used.
