The BandMaster V contains a fully bi-directional band data interface. The USB interface may be connected directly to a Flex SDR with no additional cables or interfaces required. The USB interface may be connected to your PC for radio control. In reverse, when using a radio on the RS-232 interface the BandMaster V will out 4-bit band data as well as an Icom CI/V data stream. In other words, if you are using an Icom radio on the CI/V interface the BandMaster V will output 4-bit band data as well as RS-232 data in Yaesu or Kenwood format. All channels are active simultaneously and provide data translation for your station accessories. The BM-5 BandMaster V is a full featured unit that contains a universal band decoder and antenna switch controller.
