So, if I was going to purchase a monitor, say 23-25" diagonal, what
should I look for besides the 1920 X 1080P resolution?
Pixel response time? 5ms seems to be the norm.

The SVGA adapter for the P3 plugs into the existing rear IO board inside the

Thanks, Wayne.
Like I said, everyone at Elecraft has been super nice about this, but as
you say, priorities seem to be getting in the way of having someone look
into this.
Growing pains, I suppose. I appreciate you taking time from Pacificon

Sorry, Dave, the program was written in Visual Basic for an earlier PC
OS. Seems to work under XP in some but not all cases.
We're trying to line up a resource to update it. Everyone seems to be
working on the K3, or the KX3, or the KAT500, or... well, let's just
leave it at "or".

To be clear, I have no issues with interfacing the KRC2 with external
devices.
The only issue I've had is using the Windows-based program provided on
the Elecraft web site to attempt to configure the behavior of the KRC2.
It always fails to connect to the KRC2, no matter what settings I try,

The KRC2 will switch the XVTR's just fine, but will not switch 6m at this time.
I believe the K3 firmware needs a change before that will work.

It should work just fine. I have up to 3 transverters and KRC2 attached. I

I'm using a pair of Y cables cascaded to run my KPA500 and XV144. One

That is correct.
On the "strangeness", remember that the KRC2 was developed for the K2,
and the DB-9 connector had all the pins that were needed.

Hi Don,
Thanks for the response.
If I read the KRC2 and XV144 manuals correctly, the way this would be set up
is to use the DB15/DB9 cable provided with the XV144 to connect the K3 to
the KRC2 "XCVR" DB9 connector and then use a DB9/DB9 straight-through cable
to connect the XV144 to the KRC2 "PC"
Stan,
You only need the one Y adapter for the KPA100. The XV144 can
daisy-chain off the KRC2 connector. It is similar to daisy-chaining
several transverters as shown in the XV Owner's manual.

Looking toward future station enhancements, I can see where I might want to
hang a KRC2, an XV144 and a KPA500 off of the ACC connector of my K3.
Is there any reason that this won't work, assuming a couple of Y-adapter
cables?

While the use of the AuxBus connection is preferred for K3-KRC2
communications, it does not carry information needed by the KRC2ACC to
announce radio status. For this the KRC2 needs to be connected to the
radio using the serial port. To get full functionality from the

Yes.
Use the auxbus connection rather than RS232. You can also use the band out
lines with pull ups.
If you have a transverter, do not loop the signals besides auxbus through
the KRC2. The KRC2 loads the "K3 on" and "Key" signals too much.
The KRC2 does not understand 6m, at least my version w

The coding for the K3 6 meter band is the same as the KRC2 60 meter band

Bill,
The KRC2 does not need the 8R input for use with the K2 or K3. Look at
page 20 of the KRC2 manual and you will see that the KRC2 uses 8R only
as an analog input.
The KeyOut signal timing is equivalent to the K2 8R signal.

The KRC2 is usable with the K3, and provides a lot of capability,
however, you can also use simpler systems. There's BCD-encoded band
data and you can get an antenna relay driver for about $20. that'll

Is the functionality of the KRC2 built into the K3, or is it still
