Hi Ed, Sorry for the delay getting back to you; I flew to HS over the weekend until the end of the year for vacation, so I was not reading the reflector. I prefer to always have CAT available on both ends, i.e. on both K3's in this case. Since the serial cable is connected on each end from the

I wanted to add the importance of flexibility not for just a group situation but when just one person is involved. I have been blessed to be able to travel a lot and taking a K3 or future K3/0 can be a real hassle sometimes even in the USA to say nothing to some countries. If you have ever had

I have the Elecraft "TWIN" setup working with the Microbit control and remote boxes. The instructions in the Micorbit RRC-1258 MII manual are pretty good. The URL is www.remoterig.com. The one thing that is not clear IMHO is the last line of the setup for the K3 TWIN: COM2 Mode listed as Logical

Folks: Following Eric's announcement last Friday, I setup a K3/10 as the "local" and the K3/100 as the "remote" along with a KPA-500, made up the one new E3c keying cable for the "remote / radio" site and have been trying things out since Monday night. Still running things over my local LAN, b
