Re: [Elecraft] K3 Remote Power On/Off Ron Castro

What Don, W3FPR, Stated is the correct way to handle the power on/off function. Pulling power from the K3 without an orderly shut down is very risky and reloading the firmware and configuration files remotely could prove to be a chore. I use the macro to shut things down. After the shut

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Remote Power On/Off

Doesn't the K3 automatically save settings every so often via a timer? So it would only revert to an earlier state if the power fails 'shortly' after making a change. Vic 4X6GP > On 1 Jun 2016, at 3:41 AM, Jim Brown wrote: > >> On Tue,5/31/2016 4:22 AM,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Remote Power On/Off

I forgot to add that if you permanently connect the ACC POWER_ON pin to ground, you will not be able to turn the K3 off with the PS0 command. It may glitch to a power off state, but will come back on almost immediately. 73, Don W3FPR

The K3 (K3S) can also be turned off safely (and store the current settings) by using the PS0 command - see the Programmer's Reference. That command cannot be used to turn it on (there is no power to the K3), so the POWER_ON pin in the ACC connector can be pulled low by an external device. If

I do basically the same thing to control my KX3 when I'm on holiday. The info I needed is on pages 5 and 28 of the KX3 manual: briefly assert 9V on the PTT ring of the mic plug. From skimming the K3 manual, it looks like the K3 is even easier: just (briefly, I assume) ground the PTT line on the

I am interested in a way to remotely power on a k3 or k3s without the remote rig boxes. Nice apps already exist to remotely operate the kat500 and kpa500. Any suggestions? Why? Remote operation of my second k3 for digital modes. Assistance appreciated. Randy

[Elecraft] K3 - remote power on

Hi folks.. what do people do to switch on their K3 when used remotely? up until a recent firmware upgrade, I could leave the K3 switched on and power down the PSU, when the PSU was powered up, the K3 would come alive all by itself. Shame that this behaviour has been changed,. After
