This is not a good idea - the two are not compatible. The KX3 does not speak the auxbus protocol the KRC2 needs, plus the voltage levels are not compatible. The best way to use the KRC2 with the KX3 is to use serial port communications. Realize the KRC2’s highest data rate is 19200 bps. Also remember that the KRC2 does not implement the full EI-232 interface, so be sure to fabricate a cable that only connects pins 2, 3 and 5 to the radio (or computer).
