[Elecraft] Are you satisfied with your K3?

Hi,

This thread is getting rather long and drifting off the original topic, but
I'll risk these comments anyway. My to-be remote (2nd) KAT500 is on a brown
truck somewhere in the Syracuse, NY area "out for delivery" as stated by the
tracking site. I have already proved feasibility of remote controlling my
1st one over 100' of CAT6 cable using an Ethernet serial server by B&B.
Initially I will run a 115V extension cord out to the little plastic house
that has protected an MFJ indoor autotuner for more than 3 years. Eventually
I am hoping to run a low voltage link (maybe 24V) over the speaker wire
that's already in the ground feeding the 12V DC for the MFJ. Low winter
emperature has never had much of an effect on the MFJ and I am hoping the
KAT500 will  tolerate it well, too.
