[Elecraft] K3 Mini Error question

[Jim Cary]

John,

Thanks a lot.  I suspect it will be a challenge to get them communicating over the network down here, but maybe i’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Don’t be surprised if you hear from me again though.

73,

Jim

If it's a SIP connection error you're seeing, it's because the two ends of the RRC system can't see each other (which, as you say, is the correct case because you haven't hooked up the remote unit yet).

The light over the aux/mic cable is flashing yellow, which according to the Remote Rig manual means the SIP connection has failed…. but it isn’t clear what that means or what to do about it.  I’ve checked and doubled checked all the connections and they look good.
