I have a K3 that I wish to operate remotely.

I am happy to leave it running all the time, but I have a
computer controlled mains relay on the input of the PSU that I can
use to power cycle it if there is a problem.

Can I just put a link between pins 5 & 8 of the aux plug and
power on/off via the PSU mains?

Also as I understand it (surprisingly) the K3 does not have a
ToT. Is there any simple workround, or any plans to include
on in a future release of the s/w?
