So the new "REMOTE" mode of the K3 uses the normal K3 commands from the Programmer's Reference to talk to the remote K3? I was sure I'd seen somewhere that a better protocol had been devised for this.
Can anyone with such a setup verify if that's the case, possibly by snooping on the link? This is not directly related to RemoteRig, as far as I understand it will work by hooking up any 2 K3's with, for example, a null-modem cable or two serial ports on a PC "virtually" connected together. 73, Thomas On 30 January 2012 13:48, Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> wrote: > There is no new protocol that I am aware of, just the RemoteRig support > implementation. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > > On 1/30/2012 8:37 AM, Thomas Horsten wrote: > >> Don, >> >> I was under the impression that a new protocol had been implemented in the >> firmware, providing better performance and features for remote control >> applications compared to the existing command set from the K3 Programmer's >> Reference. >> >> The approach of continuously polling all values and attempting to emulate >> panel key presses by translating them into the corresponding commands is >> not very efficient for this purpose, and it's not possible to achieve 100% >> synchronization and correct mapping of keys to functions. >> >> 73, Thomas M0TRN >> >> On 30 January 2012 13:34, Don Wilhelm<[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Thomas, >>> >>> If you are referring to the recent support for RemoteRig, the >>> description of that function can be found at the Elecraft website - >>> search on "RemoteRig".
