[Elecraft] K3/0 and KPA500

[D Joyce]

Hi Reto:  a couple of points

1.  No computer is necessary at the Remote / Radio site where the K3/100 and 
KPA500 are located.  Only need one at the Control / Local site (where most 
hams would have one anyway).

2.  A regular serial cable is used at the Conrol / Local site between the 
Control RRC Com1 and the related Serial port on the local Computer.  However 
a null modem cable is needed at the Remote / Radio site between the Radio 
RRC Com1 and the KPA500 RS232(PC) connector.

73,  Doug  VE3MV
