[Elecraft] Switching on the K3 Remotely

[Dick Dievendorff]

When the K3 is off it won't respond to serial port commands to turn itself
on.

You should use an external device (a relay or logic) to pull a pin low on
the K3 back panel 15-pin accessory connector that will turn power on.

See the K3 Owner's reference (Revision D6), page 18 for the pinout of the
ACC (accessory I/O connector), especially pin 8, and the description on page
44, "Remote Control of the K3", "Remote Power On/Off". Your external control
device needs to ground the Accessory I/O pin 8, "POWER ON".
