As usual, Iain is correct. The KRC2 normally outputs standard BCD (check the
KRC2 manual for details) for the band that is currently selected. The serial
input selection does read Kenwood/Elecraft serial data, outputting it to the
decoder terminals as well as the BCD terminals. It should work
to the microcontroller.
Floating band inputs (or all 1s) does not cause a band change, so the KPA
simply defers to the RF sense.
As you noted, it works quite well.

No. The K3 cannot control the KPA, so this is not feasible. If you

serial communications channel between the remote computer and the KPA.
Note that while the KPA sends the K3 information, the K3 does not talk

Thank you for your patience. We apologize for stretching it way too far.

The Elecraft KUSB uses the FTDI chip set and works very well with the
Mac using all recent OS versions. It works very well on Lion.
Just go to the Elecraft web site to order yours!

You guys should grab the P3's display and post the pictures.

Guys;
This problem is typically caused by the K3's TX INH input being enabled. Be
sure that the Config:TX INH menu setting is set to OFF.
I emphasize, this is a K3 setting, not KPA500.

A similar phenomenon here
The KPA only talks on the Auxbus, it does not listen. So yes, the four BAND
signals are needed.

I seem to remember reading that the order of turning on the K-line is
important. I always turn on the KAT500, then the KPA500 followed by the

Re-download the update file and try again. The failure indicates that the
firmware in the device is invalid, but the boot loader appears to be fine. In
general, this sort of problem will occur when the file you are trying to
