Jumpers W4 and W5 determine the bandmap used for outputting band data. For normal use they
should be removed. The KRC2 Configuration tool allows the bandmaps to be edited by the user.
Jumpers W4 and W5 may be used in conjunction with the Configuration tool remapping in order
to allow alternate or extended output configurations. See the KRC2 Configuration Tool
documentation for more information.
Jumpers W9-W23 are used to connect or disconnect the DB-9 connectors from the KRC2.
Normally these jumpers should be left installed. When used with a K2, the minimum jumpers that
must be installed in this block are W16, 18, 19, 21 and 23. DO NOT install jumper W20 when
using the KRC2 with the K2. Doing so will cause problems in the K2, including disabling SSB
output. If the PC connector (J1) is used to pass K2 information through to a peripheral such as a
KAT100, it is important that all jumpers in the W9-W23 block with the exception of W20, be
installed.
