K1KNQ and I have recently set up W1YL with a K3/0-Mini using and
remotehams.com, and the RCForb software. In this installation, the
K3/0-Mini is directly connected to a Windows 7 machine via two virtual
comm ports.
W1YL is able to connect to any number of remote stations using the
RCForb software, and has been successful in making a number of CW Qsos
using W8RJ as the remote stn. In W1YL's case, she is located in an
apartment with good broadband service, but no way to put up an outside
antenna, so the remote set up is a good solution for her.
The only documentation that we had available for doing this installation
was what we found on remotehams.com. The K3/0-Mini's manual was of
limited help. In W1YL's case, she had never used a K3, and was totally
unfamiliar with how to operate the K3/0-MIni and its many "tiny and
confusing" controls. We provided her with copies of some of the more
relevant pages from a K3 manual, but what really brought her up speed
were several training sessions on how to connect to a remote station and
use the K3/0 and its many controls.
It has been an interesting journey.

The lack of a good manual and no diagram for the K3/0 is
way......below the normal Elecraft standards. It is especially bad if
in addition to remote rig you sometimes want to use the USB cable and
remote hams. There just is no documentation as to what is going on!

I don’t know about a separate forum, but I am going to start looking
at a remote installation for when we move into a retirement community
and will want to know where the information is to be found.

I was wondering why the K3/0 or K3/Remote Ops doesn't have a
dedicated forum.
Just a thought...
The reason I ask is that I would really like a better manual for the
K3/0.
I have a lot of questions - simple things, like how do I control the
LCD
display or adjust the LED brightness? Is there a "local" menu
system that
allows for K3/0 configuration?
