[WT-support] Support for microHam Control Protocol ?

[Steve London]

OK...with that answer, take a look at this:

http://www.piexx.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=12&zenid=10e8805853c6b612cbdbff3f0a1471f9

This device uses the band information in the MK2R control protocol to provide 2 
BCD band outputs, one for each radio. This can be used to control bandpass 
filters, antenna switches, etc. It's about 15% of the cost of a MK2R. Yes, MK2R 
does a lot more. However, for those of us who just need 2 BCD band outputs for 
SO2R operation, it looks like a very good solution to deal with one of 
Win-Test's shortcomings (i.e. Win-Test only provides BCD band outputs on one LPT 
port for one radio).

So, just to be clear, will this PIEXX box work with Win-Test to provide BCD band 
outputs for SO2R ?
