[Elecraft] K3 Remote

[Gerry Hull]

Hey Fred and group,

You can do that to put the K3 into TERM mode, but there is absolutely no
reason to do it.
It will happen automatically.   I hoping that people don't use the "Push
the MENU button for 5 seconds" as Standard Operating Procedure.
It is an indication that you have another issue.

"Setting up the RemoteRig box is a non-trivial process."

Unfortunately,  The RemoteRig products are great stuff, but they are
designed to be used by a lot of different radios.
The documents Brandon and the team have put together from Elecraft are
good, but can be confusing if you don't pay close attention.

The RRC boxes are very configurable -- which is a good thing if you know
what's going on, but can be terrible of your not
sure what settings do.

Tie that with the fact that the manuals are many revs behind the actual
firmware, and it's a recipe for frustration for new guys.

Setting up the station-side router forwards are pretty straightforward, but
if you don't know internet routing, it can lead to trouble.

I've put together 6 different remote stations using RRCs now, so I have a
pretty good handle on the recipe, especially for the K3 twins.

I think I'll do a blog post with this recipe, also talking about the
pitfalls you can run into.  I'll post a link on the reflector here when I'm
done.
