Don't hold your breath. I've been waiting literally for years to get the configuration code fixed. Apparently because it works for some folk, then it must be my fault I haven't been able to get it to work on no less then three different computers, some with real serial ports.
I need to program it to drive a 3 of 8 encoded Ameritron head. I ordered just the head figuring that I didn't need their control box. I'm about to order the Ameritron control box now, because it will accept 1 of 8 from an external box (which the KRC2 does normally) and encode it into 3 of 8 for the remote head. As a bonus, it will allow me to manually select the antenna, if needed. I have to say that my experience with the KRC2 is the only really negative experience I've had with Elecraft gear. Everything else I've gotten from them has run just fine, and I've gotten superb support. The KRC2 is the only glaring exception, and I suppose I'll just have to chalk it up to an old kit that simply isn't on the company's radar any more for proper after-sales support. If they no longer want to spend the manpower on it any more, they should officially retire it. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Is there a KRC3 in the works? > From: Roger D Johnson <[email protected]> > Date: Thu, October 06, 2011 1:07 pm > To: Larry K1UO <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected] > > > I just built the KRC2 and it supports 60m.
