Walt; You have to tell the K3 to output the 6-meter indicator for the KRC2. Go to the KRC2 menu entry on the K3. I believe you then need to tap the '1' button on the K3 to have it select the 6-meter selector. The alternative has the K3 select the 10 meter selector when tuned to 6 meters. The operation is described in recent versions of the K3 manual.
Once the K3 is set to output the 6 meter selector when tuned to 6 meters, the KRC2 will enable the XV1 pins for that band.
