Yep, I've seen the mini, but even that is large, plus quite expensive if memory serves. I'm looking for something that will be used for one weekend a year and maybe when I'm on vacation and something interesting happens to pop up or there's a 6m F2 opening, etc. I pack and travel extremely light (21" carry-on and a small laptop briefcase only quite often, and small/light being necessary). I like the idea of the remoterig boxes but do they also require the K3/0 or mini in addition? That's a show-stopper.

The K3/0 is the size of a K3 [but much lighter since it has no radio parts], the K3/0 mini is basically the same front panel without the radio parts or case for them. The mini has a single D-sub connector on the back that handles all the RRC<-->K3 connections. You can use an external keyer, the keyer in the mini, or the keyer facility in the RRC. Mic can go into the front or rear jacks. Makes a really nice control package for travel. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 7/29/2018 3:35 PM, Peter Dougherty wrote: > Once again this year I'm planning to visit friends over the Thanksgiving > weekend.
