[Elecraft] RES: K3/0-Mini - Experiences?

[py5eg]

Hi Folks
I'm using the K3/0 mini with a K3 on the base and remoterig.
This setup added with a ACOM 2000 plus DB-42 in on the air for 2 years now and it is working extremelly well
I´m very active in the CQ DX Marathon and without the remote station I would have no condition to be competitive.
Regards
Oms

Assunto: [Elecraft] K3/0-Mini - Experiences?

I am fairly new to Elecraft and the K3 but I do have the K3/0 mini and the Remoterig twins for K3.  I ordered and installed the WiFi board for the Remoterig. All works excellent. As long as the WiFi connection is OK, the K3/0 mini connects to the remote site and operates as if you are there.
Many QSO's using the remote equipment and the other party cannot tell the difference. I am just using the standard MH2 mike. I do like the WiFi option as if allows me to establish stored WiFi connects that are remembered when I return so I simply set up the K3/0 mini and remote rig, turn it on and with a minute or so, it is ready to operate.

 

Latency is small and not really noticeable so no issues there.  

 

You can use the K3/0 mini within your network but you may need a different destination IP than if you are outside the network. I have operated both ways.

 

I have not played with the codecs yet. My audio reports are good.

 

I do have a PC at the remote site and I connect to it with Team Viewer which allows me to operate and monitor the KAT500 and KPA500 via my laptop. I use the Elecraft beta control software for this.

 

Home QTH is Calgary, Alberta. My K3 is British Columbia (VE7). I have operated from Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale and Calgary on a fairly regular basis. And, at the K3 site, take the K3/0 mini onto the deck outside and operate there when the weather is nice.

 

Just a few comments.

I'm in the midst of a terrible urge to spend some $$'s and the K3/0'-Mini's siren call is hard to resist.  I've done a bit of reading on the Remoterig products and there is scare info on the K3/0 mini.

 

I'd love to hear any testimonials, rig setups, real-world latency commentary, or even how you manage the firmware.

 

Anyone play with the codecs?  Thoughts on the different audio quality?

 

My current though is using the K3/0-Mini on the same local network and I do some occasional work travel, might be nice to take it with me.

 

Comments encouraged!!!
