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.
