That might work! Presumably the other features of the KRC2 would not work without also having the auxbus connected - not a big loss for me. It is something I will try as it is only going to need a 9-way serial cable with pins 4 6 disconnected via W16 and W20 just in case. Considering all the

Mike, For use with the K3 serial port, put in the jumpers for a thru connection on pins 4 and 6 so any computer application you may want to use can have access to these K3 serial port pins for PTT and keying. 73, Don W3FPR AD6XY wrote: That might work! Presumably the other features of the

The other method with AUXBUS almost works. The new firmware has a compatibility mode added to the KRC2 config menu of the K3. This should make the KRC2 show up as 10m or 60m on 6m. It actually shows up as 160m with my system. So, as long as we don't mind 160m mapping to 6m that is a solution.

If you use the BCD outputs on the ACC jack and J4 on the KRC-2 (pg 24 of the KRC-2 manual), 6 meters will show up as the 60M band. 73, ... Joe, W4TV -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of AD6XY Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2008

That is a very good idea Joe. I will try but it will need pull up resistors fitting in the KRC2. Also because I use transverters I will have to solder 4 more wires and it will need two multicore cables soldering onto that 15 way din and that is very difficult because of the size with a

Mike, Try it using the AUXBUS control before connecting the BAND0-3 outputs from the ACC connector. If I recall, the AUXBUS control will also activate the 60 meter KRC2 output when 6 meters is selected on the K3. Even if my memory is incorrect, it is worth a try, it is an easy matter to

Mike, I have been looking at the KRC2 manual and was reminded that the KRC2 can use serial band decoding. You might want to try it because it seems to be the easiest (but I am still unsure about the 6 meters/60 meters decoding. You will have to set the K3 (and any logging/computer control
