[Elecraft] WTB: K3/0 Mini

[Kenneth Christiansen]

Hi Bill

I know this is not the exact answer to your question but I plan to operate my home K3S this summer from my camping locations using the Verizon network. My solution may work for you too. I bought the PIGREMOTE from PIGNOLOGY and so far have it working within my house. I can send and receive SSB, CW and PSK31 across my WIFI from one room to another. My next step will be to use their recommended Internet address finder to get it to work on the Verizon network. I have two busy volunteering days starting in about 2 hours so I will let you know how that works just as soon as I have time to work on it.

I liked the PIGREMOTE price of about $270 for everything including the cables to hook up to the K3, the WIFI and shipping. They include programs for Windows, iMac and the iPad. I find I like the iPad program best and it will fit my camping situation better but the Windows program works well and I was pleased with it before I set up the iPad and found that to be even more powerful.

I expect to have the K3 be able to work 160 through 10 meters, switch antennas between the vertical and beam and use my separate receive antenna this summer. The only project that I need to build yet to do all that will be a logic circuit to add a loading coil for 160 driven by the ACC jack on the K3.

Look it over and see if it will work for you.
