Hi John,
Both!
The K3 works with the KRC2 for controlling complex antenna or
transverter switching. But it also provides amplifier control signals,
as well as 4 open-drain band-data outputs. These are discussed in the
Owner's manual, in the "Rear Panel" section.
Normally the band-data signals output a 4-bit binary code that works
with 3rd-party band decoders, and/or transverter addresses that you
select on a per-transverter basis. But we could also allow these to be
used as 4 general-purpose, active-low relay enables for small relays,
or as signals you could derive relay drive from. The could be mapped
per-band using a PC utility. This would require additional firmware
that we haven't written, pending a survey of how operators would like
to use them.
73,
Wayne

Is the functionality of the KRC2 built into the K3, or is it still
necessary for interfacing to amplifiers and antennas?
