[Elecraft] Powering down K3 using DXLab Commander

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

The K3/K3S does not have any provision to turn on via the RS-232/USB
interface.  When it is powered down the processor is not running so
there is nothing there to interpret commands.

The only way to perform a remote power on is to pull the "power on" line
of the ACC connector to ground for at least 100 msec (K3 Owner's Manual,
page 44).  Unfortunately, I do not know that Commander has any provision
to toggle a specific hardware signal in response to a User Defined
Command.

73,
