[Elecraft] How to program the K3 PF buttons to control a KRC2?

[D Joyce]

Craig:

If you are unable to get the functionality you need using the PF1 and PF2 
keys, another approach is to use a Microbit Webswitch model 1216H installed 
at the remote/radio site.   The 1216H webswitch has five SPST relays with 
230V, 16A contacts that can be controlled over the internet.  The 1216H can 
also be setup with the 1216L rotor control unit (for Ham IV or T2X, etc.) 
using the same ethernet line.
For details have a look at http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=166

Hope this helps.

73,  Doug  VE3MV
