[Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

[Fred Jensen]

Yes, exactly. Elecraft provides [for a small charge] a cable adapter 
that neatly connects the RemoteRig to the K3s or K3/0 via the USB port.  
Your micand headphones go into the K3s or K3/0 giving you all the 
options of front/back panel, bias on/off from the menu, etc.To operate 
locally from the control site, just pull the USB connector from the 
RemoteRig box.

With a K3 as control, as I have, the RemoteRig connects to the K3 RS-232 
CAT port, and when operating remote, the mic and phones go to the RRC 
box. For local operation on my HOA Stealth ant, I have to disconnect the 
CAT port and move the mic and phones to the K3.  The K3 internal keyer 
only works locally.

So, not *all* the cablingand plugging/unplugging goes away with a K3s or 
K3/0, but much of it does, what is left is fairly esthetic [if you're 
into artful cables], and the functions in the K3s or K3/0 all work 
normally, remote or local.  Almost enough to prompt me to upgrade to a K3s.
