Steve, I replied to your first message before I saw this one, but we are on
the same page regarding the ALS-1306 and the N3JFP program.

Ron,
One more thought. If you plan on using the auto band switching feature of
the ALS-1306, you should probably use the USB connection to the
radio for the logging software. This will free up the serial
connection on the radio for connection to the amp for band data.
Since the serial and usb connections on the radio are independent of each
other, I'm sure this will work, but not having that amp, I can't swear to
it from real world experience but that's how I would do it.
Of course, the amp connection will need the optional cable from Ameritron
which has amp connection at one end, andserial/7pin din connectors at the
radio end.
