I have tried 4800,9600,19200 jumper settings and set the software appropriately.   None work.

I would think I do not need to do anything FW wise as this unit has 1.6 from way back when

Rich,

What baud rate are you trying to use?  The KRC2 is limited to 19.2k.
Double check the jumpers for the RS232 port.
Follow the instructions in the manual to download the firmware.
You only need to connect the KRC2 to the computer for firmware, but you can connect the serial port on the ICOM through the KRC2 (but the speed needs to be limited to 19.2k.

I see Jack Brindle sent a response - he is the designer and therefore the expert.

Does anyone have any experience using the KRC2 with an Icom radio?  This is a working KRC2 that was on a K3 at one time.

To start I cannot get the KRC2 to connect to my PC.  I have used straight through cable, Null modem Cable and a USB to Serial Cable.  I have run the program on an old XP laptop and my Win10 machine.   I have even used a "real" comport.  None of those configurations will connect to the device.   The DL switch is set properly.

The KRC2 passes all of the manual button press tests.

I have the jumpers set for ICOM on KRC2 board.  The ICOM is sending the band voltage to the unit as measured with a Volt meter.
