[Elecraft] new K3/0 Mini

[Rick WA6NHC]

That is something that I requested some years ago and again this year.  
To make a box that allows control of the K3(S) using the same port as 
the KPod plus a connection to Line in/out for audio.

Using something like an FPGA, with networking integrated, it appears to 
be a simple matter to convert the K3(S) into a network device (but WELL 
above my ability level), which would simplify remote operations without 
the need for a computer (and capable of using battery power).  A 
matching app (or at least the data exchange) would complete this; tablet 
ops are pretty nice, BlueTooth to the tablet/phone for managed audio.

I've worked around it with a computer, TeamViewer and Skype, but there 
is no reason it can't be simplified.  Using the phone internet, one 
could put up a remote where needed (EMCOMM or fun).

I really think that it would be a very useful addition to the K Line; 
when they have the time.  It would place the K3(S) next to the Flex for 
simpler remote ops.

The app should also consider management of an amp, tuner, rotor or other 
auxiliary devices; if it gets that far.
