KRC2 with K3 and RemoteRig

[P.B. Christensen]

I have a need to automatically switch antennas based on the K3's band data.
Is it possible to use the Elecraft KRC2 device with the K3 + RemoteRig?  The
K3's RS232 port is already connected to the RemoteRig RRC unit.  What is
Elecraft's recommendation to accomplish data splitting between all three
units?  

Paul, W9AC

The KRC2 connects quite nicely to the K3’s AuxBus. In fact this is the recommended method for using the KRC2 with the K3.
It will respond to the band change information the K3 sends on that medium.

The Auxbus is on the K3’s AUX IO connector. As I recall, it is on pin 2, with ground on Pin 5. See the KRC2 manual for more information.
If you have questions about the KRC2, just ask!
