[Elecraft] K3 - remote control head

Will the mini be able to perform the same job the control head on a Kenwood 480 does? Put the radio on a back shelf and only have a 2 deep control panel to drag around the desk? Maybe a blank panel cover for the K3 and a remote kit that will provide for this? There are days when I am not

How about a detachable P3 display? The box takes up way too much space. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 4/29/2013 14:51, Bill wrote: Will the mini be able to perform the same job the control head on a Kenwood 480 does? Put the radio on a back shelf and only have a 2 deep control panel to drag around the

I call that the SVGA option. :-) Of course, my display is a lot larger than the P3, but it is better located so I almost never look at the P3. Field day will be different of course. Cheers - Bill, AE6JV On 4/29/13 at 8:41 AM, als...@nc.rr.com (Brian Alsop) wrote: How about a detachable P3

: The K3/0 should allow you to control a K3 over a RS232 connection, which could be a fairly long cable (up to 50 feet, perhaps?), Another very useful fact -- RS232 uses an unbalanced connection, and the connection is NOT impedance-matched. That is, the source has a low source impedance and

If what you are looking for is a multi-function remote tuning knob consider using the Shuttle Pro 2 by Contour Design at http://retail.contourdesign.com/ I've used this device in that role in my mobile contesting setup to control the K3 which is in the rear of the vehicle and the operator is in

It should be technically feasible to use the high-speed protocol that was developed for the RemoteRig solution to implement a remote control head that talks over a serial connection to the K3. It'd essentially be a K3/0 in a compact package, suitable for moving around the desk, or mounting on a

I wonder if the K3's (K3/0) front panel will ever be available as a stand alone device similar the Kenwood TS-480? No big box behind the panel, just a line to the transceiver - which is operated remote from where it is mounted on the side of my desk. It is very handy to be able to move that
