[Elecraft] sharing K3 RS232 to CAT and Remoterig

[Fred Jensen]

Jorge,

Basically, you cannot share an serial RS-232 connection between devices, 
with one exception: It is possible to have a receive-only device monitor 
[eavesdrop or "listen in" on] the TXD or RXD signals.  It can't transmit 
though.

"So now I lost the feature to change antennas automatically when I 
change bands on the K3"

Do you mean that you changed your connection back from the remoterig to 
your local equipment and that no longer works?

I use an A/B data switch to switch my K3 CAT port between the local 
computer when I'm operating with my home antenna, and the remoterig for 
when I'm operating W7RN remotely.
