[Elecraft] K3/0 Question

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

The K3/0 via the RemoteRig boxes absolutely -can- power up and down the remote K3. It uses a pin on the K3 AuxPort that acts the same as pressing the power button on the K3. 

Powering up the K3/0 powers up the remote K3. And powering off the K3/0 powers off the remote K3. Also, if you lose the internet link, the remote K3 will gracefully power down.

73,

Eric
