KRC2 Configuration --- More

[Brian F. Wruble-2]

OK, After many tries, I got the configuration almost right.  Since the KRC2
has no 6 meter terminal, I have tried to assign 6 meters to any terminal I
am not using.

To be specific:

I have a 160/80/30 dipole.  I assign 160, 80 and 30 to the KRC2 80M slot.

I use my 40 meter beam for 40/17/12.  I assign 40/17/12 to the KRC2  40M
slot.

I have a tribander for 20/15/10.  I assign 20, 15 and 10 to the KRC2 20M
slot.

I have tried to assign 6M to 10M, 160M, 17M, 12M, XV1.  Every time, it
winds up attached to the 20M slot.

So, if I put the K3 band on 6M, the band decoder puts 12V on the 20M
terminal --- not what I want.

Yes, I have the switch in the "DL" position when i load, and in the "OP"
position when I test.


Tnx de Brian W3BW

Really 20m, not 10m?

On the K3, navigate to CONFIG:KRC2 and tap [1] until you see "bnd6=b6".

How is the KRC2 getting band data from the K3? (AUXBUX? BCD? Serial?)

Brian,
The issue is in the K3. You need to go into the K3 KRC2 menu and tap 1 to set BAND6=B6. It will then put out the 1010 6m code when on 6. Otherwise it puts out the 10 meter code. I got hung up on that too!
Cheers,
Fred KE7X
