Doug, You and anyone else having specific Elecraft Twin questions should post your questions directly on the Microbit (RemoteRig) forum at: <http://www.remoterig.com/forum/index.php>
to answer question 2: The remote K3 becomes your local K3. You are essentially using the local one only as a control panel for the remote K3, so of course the audio and other settings will be that of the remote K3. to answer question 3: You will find the directions on page 167 of the latest RemoteRig manual at <http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=97> If you have any further questions, just post a message on their forum, or drop me a note and I can help you directly. 73, Mitch DJ0QN On 08.12.2011 00:30, D Joyce wrote: > 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.
