Original Bandmaster and K3

Elecraft mailing list
I have recently come into possession of an Array Solutions Bandmaster,
the *original* edition. I have set it up in what I believe to be a
correct manner, with the radio set to Yaesu, the interface as RS-232 and
the baud rate to 9600. The radio baud rate is set correctly to 9600
also. In turning the unit on the Bandmaster immediately jumps to the 15m
antenna position and stays there regardless of which band I have the
radio on. The unit passes through the band data to my microHam CW Keyer
box and hence to my computer logging program correctly. The logging
computer follows correctly when I change bands on the radio. Obviously
I'm missing something here, but I can't figure out what. Any hints?

Thanks.

Jim WI9WI

If you are using a serial connection, set the Bandmaster for *KENWOOD*.
The Elecraft protocol is nearly identical to that of Kenwood.  In fact,
I often test Kenwood configurations for the microHAM product using my
K3.
