Question about K3 band data on ACC connector

Enno, PF5X
The K3 FAQ gives the following info on the band data:

"The default K3 band data outputs match the Unified Microsystems plan.

160-10 m are mapped sequentially starting at 0001. 60 m is not mapped and
will show up as 0000 and 6 m is above 10 m. The outputs are open-drain and
thus may require pull-ups to an external supply in some applications."

Is this the same as the band data output of my FT1000MP ? Currently I am
using the 1000MP band data to interface with my SPE Expert 1K-FA linear. So
I am just wondering whether I could use the K3 band data output instead.

Yes.  The Elecraft K3 Band Data matches that of the FT-1000MP
and FTV-1000.  Neither the K3 or FT-1000MP/FTV-1000 provide
any Band Data output for 60 Meters.  The BCD band codes are
1 - A for 160 - 6 Meters.  Note: this is different than the
Elecraft KRC2 which uses 1-9 for 160 - 10 meters and assigns
60 meters to A.
