John: If you are using the "Quadrapus cable set" that Elecraft sells for 
the K3/0-RRC1258 combo, I believe the answer is "Yes."  I remote to W7RN 
using my K3 and don't have a K3/0 but I've coached others who do get 
their configuration right and that's how they do it.  Pin 4 of the RJ45 
I/O connector on the back of the 1258 is the key line [pin 8 is ground] 
and you can use it instead, however the Elecraft cable set takes care of 
all the interconnections for you.
