Has anyone with a new K4 had the opportunity to do any serious CW long
distance remote operating with it, and if so, how effective was it? By
serious, I mean in a contest or in a DX pileup where reaction time is
important. And by long distance, I mean over the internet, not just via

Hi Paul,
You'll definitely be able to use the K4D on CW remotely. We're still working on
some aspects of full remote control, and will post about our progress to the

I hv a K4D on order since 10/19 .my hope was assured by Elecraft at the
Pacificon show when they demo'd the K4 with no other units involved for
remote operation. I am disabled and vy old and was hoping to be able to

Good to work you, Paul!
Some remote systems accept straight key and faithfully transmit it with
"personality" intact; some not.
FWIW, I've logged over 1,000 QSOs in the past three weeks as K3Y/2, all
on my trusty Junker straight key. Some even understood what I was
sending, hahha...

K1EL Winkeyer used on both ends of the link. With the
K1EL software, the "operator's" Winkeyer converts the
paddle closures to ASCII. The ASCII is transferred to
the remote (radio) WinKeyer where it is converted to
key closures ...

I’ve not been too concerned about the radio end.
But if I’m in a hotel room with only my laptop, other than using client
software and keyboard, how to send? I’ve not seen any USB to paddle interface

A friend is investigating operation remotely and wonders if it is possible
from a Samsung phone. He's strictly an SSB op. He's OK with operating thru
a PC at the shack end as he never turns either the PC or rig off.
Ideas?

That's how W7RN does it. In fact, Gerry used W7RN for a recent demo.
Once your RRC-1258 is configured properly, you don't need a computer
unless you need to access station automation at the remote site too.

Hey Dick,
Why do you need TRX Manager or anything of the sort?
Just bring the K3/0, RemoteRig box and whatever internet connectivity you
need.
If you need to access a desktop for antenna or KPA500, use TeamViewer or
Remote Desktop, and access any automation applications locally in the shack.
I am operating my K-3/100, KPA-500, and KAT500 successfully using a K3/0 at my

Jim,
To be able to find the problem, you will need to add some details as to
what the defect sounds like. There are many possibilities and we need
more details. The new firmware should not necessarily cause a problem,
but may if the difference between the two RRC's is significant. There is
Well, the unfortunate part is that the only description I got was the radio

Hi Mitch,
Yes, good idea! I am also going to call Elecraft and speak with Brandon. I
tried that yesterday, but he had the day off.
As of now, firmware in both K3's are the same, firmware in both RemoteRig units
is the same.
So, we will go from there.

Hi Dick,
200 ft is not a long distance at HF. If you're already going to run a
cable from the operating position to near the antenna anyway, why not
just use a low loss feedline? LMR400 or equiv is only around -1.5dB at
10m. If that's unacceptable, you can find 1/2 hardline for much less
PS - Searching the Internet did not provide answers to my above
questions - possibly, the questions were not phrased properly!
The internet did not provide any answers to the above questions
because the configuration proposed is not feasible. The P3
requires access via RS-232 to the K3 CAT
That was my thought. Put the amplifier at the remote spot, run coax to it, and
use an RS-232 extender for the control lines, if needed.
