[Elecraft] K3/0 and CW

[John Huffman]

SUCCESS!  I now have the external keyer working with the K3/0-Mini and 
RemoteRig boxes.  Many thanks to Chuck N8CL for sending me his settings.

Here's what he sent.

I/O:
INO mode=keyer
out 0=keyer
out1=keyer
out2=keyer
USB RTS as PTT=com 0
USB DTR as PTT=com 0

Keyer:
enable=yes
iambic=b
all those number entries in order: 30/600/40/100/50/10/40

Serial:
com 1 mode = mode 7, cat to com 2 (remote)
com 1 baud 38,400
data=8
stop=1
parity=0
com 1 RTS/cts=no
hex=00
USB com port as com 1 = yes
  com 2 mode=logical parallel with com 0
baud=38400
8-1-0
hex=00
USB com port as com 2=no
com 3(extra) mode (USB-com fsk)=mode-10 baudot rtty

I have no idea which ones worked, but the end result is that if I plug 
the output of the external keyer into the KEY jack on the back of the 
K3/0-Mini it works.

The next challenge is to get the RemoteRig client box to send frequency 
data to N1MM+ on my computer.  Help always appreciated.
