[Elecraft] K3: remote control

[Edward Dickinson III]

Thanks, Alan.

 

The eHam link referenced in Win's post was for a unit not requiring a
computer at the operating position.  I suppose that is for units that have
remote heads.

 

Perhaps Elecraft will consider a remote head for the K3 and/or other/future
rigs.

Yes, you do need a computer at the operating end.  However it is really

nice not to need one at the radio end.  If the computer crashes you

really don't want to have to drive to the mountaintop to reset it.  Also

having a computer running 14/7 can waste a lot of power.  The computer

at the operating position can be turned off when you aren't using it.
