[Elecraft] K3 - remote control head

[Doug Turnbull]

Bill,
     I wonder if the Elecraft K3 has the I/O signals to easily implement a
remote head.  This is a feature which has been requested in the past and I
think that Elecraft even had a prototype at one time but it died a death -
could be wrong on this last point.    I too have hoped for this feature as
implemented with the Orion II but Elecraft has supplied so much it is
churlish for me to look for more.    God, an improved AGC for CW, P3 SVGA
adapted for data modes - it is hard to keep up with Elecraft.    They are
such an unusual company in their close links to the customer base and
willingness to oblige when they can.   We are a fortunate bunch to have
chosen their product.

     The hot keys software is supposed to implement some of what I want in a
remote control head but the confession is that I have not tried this yet.
Interaction with Micro keyer II or Wintest is my worry but I understand this
is not supposed to be a problem.

I wonder if the K3's (K3/0) front panel will ever be available as a 
stand alone device similar the Kenwood TS-480?

No big box behind the panel, just a line to the transceiver - which is 
operated remote from where it is mounted on the side of my desk. It is 
very handy to be able to move that control panel all over my desk. This 
is similar to the Yaesu 857D and the Icom 706 and 7000 series.

It is not rocket science - just another purchase for the K3.
