[Elecraft] KRC2

[Georges Ringotte F6DFZ]

Hi to the group,

I would like to know if the KRC2 can be used to interface a Kenwood rig to the KAT500.

The KRC2 can read the Kenwood RS232 protocol and know its frequency.
The KAT500 needs a BCD code to switch bands (with the K3 it gets it from the Aux connector).
The KRC2 has a connector (J4) which can be set to Input or Output BCD code.

My questions are : does the KRC2 outputs the correct BCD code needed by the KAT500 when the Kenwood rig is set to a frequency ?
Can each band limits be set with the KRC2 utility software ?

I would prefer personnal experience than theory, I have carrefully read the manual !

Thanks and best regards.
