I feel pretty confident that I found the true dip in C55 at a value of 12.

Make sure you are tuned between 7.0 and 7.1 Mhz and you are on the right test

Scott,
The K2 looks for a frequency reading near 12,100 kHz when it starts the
CAL PLL sequence.
If yours is only going up to 11,959.64 kHz, that is not high enough.
Info 232 is a usual result if the initial frequency is too low.
Check your PLL reference oscillator range again (check at TP3).
Duty free?? Canada?? NO - I ought a K2 on eBay from Canada and it arrived
with a $23 duty COD bill for the import.

I recommend sticking with the KRC2, because it has
a variety of outputs that you can mix and match
for whatever combination of antennas, filters, stubs,
etc that you want to switch as you move from band

Since you already have the KRC2 set up to switch your antennas, I would
suggest you use that with the K3. Connect the K3 ACC pin 2 (AUXBUS)
signal to KRC2 pin 6, connect the K3 Keyout signal (ACC pin 10) to KRC2
