> REMOTE-RIG K3 REMOTE CONTROL SUPPORT:
>
> One K3 can now directly control another, with one acting as nothing but
> a front panel. This "remote rig" mode provides a nearly perfect
> emulation of the remote K3's display and controls. (Previously, front
> panel emulation was limited by the K3's legacy command set.) The
> simplest way to use this is to connect the two K3s together using a
> "null modem" cable at the RS232 ports. However, by using a computer or a
> third-party hardware (such as RemoteRig units) as an intermediary, it's
> possible to control a K3 over the internet or even a wiFi connection.
> Note that the controlling K3 can have a totally different configuration
> from the remote K3. It could be a K3/10 with no options, for example,
> yet it could still control a remote K3 with all options, including sub
> receiver, KPA500, etc.
>
> To use Remote-Rig mode, set both K3s to 38.4 kb and connect them
> together via the RS232 ports (possibly using an intermediary device like
> RemoteRig for control and Voip over local nets or the internet). Next,
> at the local K3, hold CONFIG until you see "TERM" on VFO B. If the
> remote K3 is listening, the TERM message will be replaced with a display
> that looks exactly like the remote K3's. (RemoteRig remote control
> systems with the latest firmware will do this automatically when
> connected to the control K3. Holding MENU is not necessary) From then
> on, the remote K3 can be controlled by the local one (the remote K3 can
> still be controlled with its own front panel, too). The local K3's audio
> will be muted. Both receive and transmit audio must be handled by the
> intermediary device (RemoteRig etc.)To exit Remote-Rig mode, hold CONFIG
> on the local K3 until you see "NORM" flashed on VFO B. The local K3 will
> return to normal operation. (Or, in the case of K3's and RemoteRig
> units, powering down the K3 will disconnect and power down the remote K3.)
>
> Note: Elecraft will be offering RemoteRig radio remote control systems
> and interface cabling for the K3 on our web site order form shortly.
