[Elecraft] K3/0 Question

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Hi Eric,

Agreed. My point was that it's the RemoteRig boxes that are doing the
power on/off, not the K3/0. The control RRC senses when the K3/0 is
powered on, and tells the radio RRC to send the power-on signal to the
remote K3. Since RemoteRig is not the only way to to utilise a K3/0
(although it may be the most common), it would be misrepresentative to
state that at the K3/0 (itself) is capable of powering on/off a remote
K3.
