Craig:
If you are unable to get the functionality you need using the PF1 and PF2
keys, another approach is to use a Microbit Webswitch model 1216H installed
at the remote/radio site. The 1216H webswitch has five SPST relays with
230V, 16A contacts that can be controlled over the internet. The 1216H can
also be setup with the 1216L rotor control unit (for Ham IV or T2X, etc.)
using the same ethernet line.
For details have a look at http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=166
Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] How to program the K3 PF buttons to control a KRC2?
As further background, I am using the K3/100 remotely via RemoteRig with a
K3/0 at my control QTH. I would like to setup the KRC2 at the remote or
radio location connected to the K3/100 AUX bus. Then I could use the PF1
and PF2 buttons on the K3/0 to control relays at the remote or radio
location. One of the relays will switch the audio lines from the K3/100
that go into the RemoteRig radio box. Normally the two receiver audio
lines
will be brought back via the Internet but when I activate the relay, the
main receiver speaker audio and line level audio will be brought back for
RTTY and other sound card applications which need fixed level audio (when
doing RTTY it's nice to be able to turn down the volume some). In
addition,
I want to be able to switch antennas (not based on band) and control other
functions as required.
Apparently according to the manuals, the PF keys can be programmed via the
K3 Setup Utility but I cannot find the specific command syntax to load
into
the macros.

The KRC2 ACC outputs are very explicitly available through the K3's ACC
menu
control. what Craig needs help with is some way to access that control
using
macros.
So the question is how to access that menu setting in the K3. Any ideas?

Craig,
What specifically do you want to do?
The KRC2 does select different outputs according to the band the K3 is
on,
so the band outputs can operate your antenna selection on the remote
switch.
The KRC2 configurator program can assist with the "which band(s) selects
which KRC2 output".
Why do you need additional control from the K3? The KRC2 ACC outputs are
only accessible from the buttons on the KRC3 itself, and are not
accessible
through AUXBUS commands as far as I know.
I do not think the PF1 nor PF2 buttons are capable of issuing any AUXBUS
commands. Check the K3 Programmer's Reference for the commands that can
be
executed with macros. I see none that directly control the AUXBUS.

Help,
I am posting this again. Is there some way to program the PF buttons

I would like to be able to use the PF buttons to manually select
antennas on a remote switch and control other items at my remote
location with the PF1 and PF2 buttons.
