Tom I would think you will find the VOX on/off and gain controls useful. There are some of us that rely on them in remote operation.
I use an "IP Power" switch to control the AC. This gives you the ability to power up/down the entire station from the remote location. To power up the K3 I have a momentary relay on the output of the power supply for the K3. You turn the power supply on and the relay bumps the on pin in the accessory socket. Works great and is automatic. A crude R/C circuit accross the coil does the job. To power down the K3 takes a short data command, as you know. I have tried several remote control programs. A couple of them send this command automatically whey you shut the program down. Very cool. Together this takes the hassle out of turning the K3 on and off. The only drawback is that you must power down the power supply before you can turn the K3 back on, using the IP Power switch.
