[Elecraft] Using the K3 remote

[Stewart Bryant]

Hi Don

That is at odds with the FAQ

http://www.elecraft.com/K3/K3FAQ.htm#auxbus

"I understand that if I short two pins from the ACC connector on the 
back I can turn the rig on.  When shorting those two pins is it 
momentary or constant?

"Momentary (at least 0.5 second). Or you can leave it on permanently, at 
least until you want to turn the rig off."
