Walt, It may be that you need version 1.6 of the KRC2 firmware - but I will wait for Jack Brindle to answer with certainty. The last I heard is that the release of version 1.6 was delayed by the late discovery of a minor bug.
Yes, 6 meter support was reported to be available in version 1.5, but I think that same bug which delayed 1.6 may be the culprit. Jack will likely respond with better information than my "hearsay" recollections. 73, Don W3FPR Walter Miller, AJ6T wrote: > I recently assembled a KRC2 decoder for use with my K3, and I cannot get > it to decode the 6-meter band.
