[Elecraft] KX-2 Remote

[Don Wilhelm]

With the KX2 and KX3 two button power on, I would think that they are 
not a good choice for remote operation.  OTOH, the K3 and K3S do have 
provision for remote power on via the Power On pin in the ACC connector.

The two button power on/off is present so the KX2 and KX3 cannot 
accidentally be turned on while bouncing around in a backpack, etc.
Even if power is removed, the 2 button keypress is required to power it 
back on.

If there is a human available at the remote location to power the KX2 
on, then all should be OK.  After power on, the KX2 can be controlled 
via CAT commands.
