Is it possible to access K2 band data information in order to make it available in some format to control external devices?. Thanks for any help.

Sure Jim .. it's called the KRC2 :)

I can answer that. By far the best way to get band data is to decode
the frequency returned by an IF; serial command. Having the frequency allows you quite a bit of freedom in what you do with it, especially since you can create "sub bands" or segments within each band. This could be useful in determining if you are at the low or high end of a band or even outside a band. It is also FAR, FAR easier to decode than the AuxBus information... Now, having said all this, probably the easiest way to deal with it it to use a KRC2, which decodes either AuxBus or serial band data for you. You just tap into the various drivers (or the BCD output terminals) and use the information directly.

Jack
Is there some way to decode band segment info with KRC2? I don't recall seeing anything about that when I built mine. Does it take some additional utility software to set this up, assuming it's even possible. Boy, that would sure be handy. 73, Bob N6WG -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]]On Behalf Of Jack Brindle Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 10:11 AM To: [hidden email] Cc: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Band data I can answer that.
