[Elecraft] [K3] Remote control protocol documentation

[Don Wilhelm]

Thomas,

If you are referring to the recent support for RemoteRig, the 
description of that function can be found at the Elecraft website - 
search on "RemoteRig".  Either the RemoteRig, or a communications link 
to connect 2 K3s (the local K3 controls the remote K3) is what is 
needed.  What is required is a communications link, and not any 
particular protocol.

If you are instead creating a control program to run on your computer 
and remotely control a single K3, then the K3 Programming reference is 
the documentation that you need.

73,
Don W3FPR
