[Elecraft] K3 and Remoterig

[Oliver Dröse]

Okay Wayne, I see. ;-))

That's a nice approach as the Joe Average user might not fully understand 
what is going on with the RemoteRig solution (I know as I've done a lot of 
support among German users when the product first got popular overhere, hi).

So I simply misunderstood you (thought there would be a "special" controller 
as for the Yaesu solution which is not needed here). Thanks for the quick 
clarification! :-))

Hi Oliver,

What I meant was that we would further explain to our customers what
RemoteRig is and how it works. For example, many many not realize that
the microphone audio, keyer paddle, and receive audio are all routed
through these boxes, not the radio. This is a different way of
operating, but necessary to provide the proper signal conditioning and
transmission across a network.

There will also be some "fine print" associated with the K3 as used
with Remote Rig. At least with the first firmware release, which will
probably be about 99% of the final implementation. I'll have those
details later.
