[Elecraft] [K3] Question for those using a K3/100 as a transmitter and a remote station terminal

2013-05-20 Thread Barry
From what I see on the Elecraft web site, the Remoterig modem uses a serial
connection with a K3.

If you have the K3 hooked up to a P3 and/or computer for home station use,
do you use a serial A/B switch or some other method to switch it to use as a
remote station terminal?  Be interested in hearing the details of such a
setup.

Tnx,
Barry W2UP

No need for any switching... the P3 can be inserted between the K3 and
the RRC box. The computer can plug into the other serial port (COM1)
on the RRC box for local rig-control, or it can talk through a USB
connection to the RRC instead (including rig-control). You would need
to bypass the RRC box for K3 firmware upgrades, but that's infrequent
enough that you can just temporarily move the cables around
