Martin, The KX3 and K3 do not support Kenwood's master/slave protocol. However, they do support different variations of Elecraft's own master/ slave protocol. This allows "remote-rig" operation with various different hardware configurations.
The K3 version of the protocol is extremely fast, and provides virtually 100% emulation of a remote K3 by a local (terminal) K3. The KX3 implementation is at present experimental, but it will provide limited control of a KX3, K3, or K2 (only VFOs, mode, bandwidth, and RIT). I posted on this topic in detail quite recently. 73, Wayne N6KR On Sep 10, 2012, at 5:09 AM, Martin Storli - LA8OKA wrote: > Does the KX3 support the Kenwood Master/Slave connection? > This could be usefull in a SO2R contest operating environment, Multi- > Multi contest operating environment and on DXpeditions. > > (For those of you that aren't familiar with the Kenwood Master/ > Slave, it is a system consisting of 2 Kenwood transceivers, where > one transceiver is set-up as a master and the other is set-up as a > slave, the transceivers are connected with an serial cable, and this > set-up alows transfering of the operating frequency from the master > transceiver to the slave transceiver. > But what have all this Kenwood-stuff to do with Elecraft, you may > ask?
