Scott,

KRC2 firmware version 1.5 *should* include 6 meters?  Have you tried to 
see if the XV1 outputs activate when the K3 is set to 6 meters?  It is 
supposed to be activated by the AUXBUS.
Jack Brindle's post of 5/30/2010 makes a definitive statement:
-------------------------------------------------------

The latest KRC2 code adds 6-meter support for the K3. It enables the XV1 terminal when the K3 indicates it is on 6 meters, and when cycling through the band selections with the F1 and F2 keys.

Have you tried downloading a fresh copy of the KRC2 Download Program?
