[Elecraft] Fwd: K3/0 Question

[Brandon Hansen [KG6YPI]]

Hello,

     The "remote" K3 is powered on when the "control" K3 is powered on 
and power off when the control K3 is powered off.

     It is that simple  ;)

73 for now

>> Now I am confused.I liked Doug's first reply. Is that not the case?  Someone else said the K3/0 will turn power off and on remotely at the slaved K3/100.  Now I am hearing no it won't. Is that right?

>> I am surprised if Elecraft designed things so that you can totally remote control EXCEPT  for power.

>> It is no trick to remotely control power to the DC supply, but the manual says if you shut the rig down there, there might be loss of some memory items.
