[Elecraft] How to program the K3 PF buttons to control a KRC2?

[Craig - AE6RR]

As further background, I am using the K3/100 remotely via RemoteRig with a
K3/0 at my control QTH.  I would like to setup the KRC2 at the remote or
radio location connected to the K3/100 AUX bus.  Then I could use the PF1
and PF2 buttons on the K3/0 to control relays at the remote or radio
location.  One of the relays will switch the audio lines from the K3/100
that go into the RemoteRig radio box.  Normally the two receiver audio lines
will be brought back via the Internet but when I activate the relay, the
main receiver speaker audio and line level audio will be brought  back for
RTTY and other sound card applications which need fixed level audio (when
doing RTTY it's nice to be able to turn down the volume some).  In addition,
I want to be able to switch antennas (not based on band) and control other
functions as required.

Apparently according to the manuals, the PF keys can be programmed via the
K3 Setup Utility but I cannot find the specific command syntax to load into
the macros.

73,

The KRC2 ACC outputs are very explicitly available through the K3's ACC menu
control. what Craig needs help with is some way to access that control using
macros.

So the question is how to access that menu setting in the K3. Any ideas?

The KRC2 configurator program can assist with the "which band(s) selects
which KRC2 output".

only accessible from the buttons on the KRC3 itself, and are not accessible
through AUXBUS commands as far as I know.
