[Elecraft] Dayton Discovery

[Ed Berbari]

I  have been monitoring this reflector for over 3 months as I have making up 
my mind about getting a K3.  Arrived at this decision with an unusual point 
of view - I will save this for another post.  I ordered a well equipped K3 
on May 6 presumably ahead of the Dayton rush.

Anyway I still have a lot of questions and had a chance to talk with Wayne 
this afternoon at the booth.  I wondered about the requirement of using the 
keyer for standalone PSK or RTTY operation.  He said the feature was there 
because he doesn't always like to turn on his computer to operate these 
modes.  I agreed but noted that I can type faster than I can send code.  So 
why not a more flexible way to connect just a keyboard.  He then pointed out 
the RJ-45 connector on the bottom/front of the rig.  He just sort of smiled 
about this, but after reading the mail for several months and reading the 
owners manual fairly thoroughly this was the first I heard of this feature 
(yet unused).  Following his coy smile he just indicated that the keyboard 
was probably not a front burner issue.

Does anybody on the list have more info on the RJ-45 that they would like to 
share?
