[Elecraft] [KX3] Does the KX3 support the Kenwood Master/Slave connection?

[Wayne Burdick]

Martin,

The KX3 and K3 do not support Kenwood's master/slave protocol.  
However, they do support different variations of Elecraft's own master/ 
slave protocol. This allows "remote-rig" operation with various  
different hardware configurations.

The K3 version of the protocol is extremely fast, and provides  
virtually 100% emulation of a remote K3 by a local (terminal) K3.

The KX3 implementation is at present experimental, but it will provide  
limited control of a KX3, K3, or K2 (only VFOs, mode, bandwidth, and  
RIT). I posted on this topic in detail quite recently.
