Re: [Elecraft] KRC2 Setup

There's a setting in the K3 that optionally maps the 6m band to 10m. If that setting is enabled, you'll be trying to pass 6m through your 10m BPF, which probably won't work well :) Go to CONFIG:KRC2 and tap the '1' button until you see "bnd6=b6" 73, ~iain / N6ML On Sun, May 22, 2011 at 6:4
