[Elecraft] W1UE: Re: K3 & Remote Rig Questions

[Brandon Hansen [KG6YPI]]

Hello Dennis,

Yes, there is a serial port command to switch the radio between Terminal 
and Normal mode. ("RRT;" and "RRN;")

It is recommended to have both volumes knobs turned all the way down 
when powering down the remote and control K3. This way on power up, you 
will not have excessive audio coming from the remote and the control K3 
will already be muted.

I hope this information helps.
