Tom - I will give you some unsolicited advice-- The KRC2 was the worst RFI sucking piece of gear I ever owned. 
I think that being hooked to the guts of the processor in the K3 was a killer -no amount of fiddling would calm 
it down. Was "usable" at 100 watts but my 80 meter antenna runs across roof about 15 feet above my shack 
and it would go berserk on 80 at 1500 .I ended up buying BCD to serial boards from UNIFIED MICROSYSTEMS 
they are opitcally coupled and just take the BCD out of the K3 - They also sell hi side relay driver board as well -

In my case I put both boards inside the control box for my Array Solutions Ratpack 6 antenna switch. It has been 
bullet proof . (and a hell of a lot cheaper than a KRC2 )
