[Elecraft] K3 battery and RRC1258?

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

I can answer about the Low Battery part of your question - that has to 
do only with the power supply voltage delivered to the K3 (not the coin 
battery for the Real Time Clock).
There is a BAT MIN menu item where you can specify the voltage below 
which that message will be blinked on the display periodically.
It has a default value of 11 volts - check yours to see what it is 
actually set at.
That feature is nice when you are working with a battery because you can 
see when the battery needs to be recharged.
With a good power supply in use, if you see that message, it would be an 
indication that you should check your power supply and the PS wiring to 
the K3 for possible loose connections.

For the remote operation questions, someone other than myself will have 
to answer, I have no experience with that.
Brandon at Elecraft is quite knowledgeable and may be able to help along 
with the support folks at RemoteRig.

73,
Don W3FPR
