[Elecraft] Remote with K3

  I am setting up to remote control the K3 over the Internet. With its 
extensive software command set, the K3 is a great rig for remote 
control.  However, I cannot find commands to control the level of either 
Microphone Gain or Compression.  What am I overlooking?

In addition, I had hoped the K3 would have a built-in Watchdog Timer - a 
menu settable maximum key-down time.  From a few seconds to at least ten 
minutes.  This is essential for remote operation to prevent accidental 
key-down - for example, if the computer crashes or sends an erroneous 
command.  Both have happened here during local testing, so I feel a 
watchdog timer is critical to safe remote operation of the station.  Is 
there such a timer in the K3 which I have missed?

Thanks & 73,
Ron N6EE
