[Elecraft] Using the KRC2 with the K144XV inside the K3s

[Don Wilhelm]

Bill,

I have not been through it, but in addition to the information on page 
41 of the manual, look at the menu listing for XVn ADR on page 68.

I interpret the information that the band data information for the 
internal and external addresses will be send over both the AUXBUS and 
output on the BAND DATA lines.
Back on page 21, there is a statement that INT TRN1-9 have the same 
decodes as TRN1-9.

Note the caution that TRN8 and TRN9 (also TRN0) will be sent as zero on 
the AUXBUS.

I think that also means you can only select 7 transverters with the 
signals on the AUXBUS.  If you need all 9, you will have to decode the 
BAND0 thru BAND3 outputs of the ACC connector.

73,
