Many thanks Wayne! I have read that post but I didn't realize at the time what I could do with it. :-) (Wayne post so others don't need to do a search: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-use-as-a-k3-remote-rig-td7562242.html#a7562268 ) The reason I asked about the Kenwood Master/Slave is of course because I have some Kenwoods on the table. But the Autoinformation may be better for my intended use, since no pushing on buttons are necesarry. What I want to try out is to use the KX3 as a panadapter with my TS-2000X or TS-590 as transmitters (because they have 100 watt, and the PA for the KX3 isn't ready), and to do so, the KX3 needs to follow the frequency on the Kenwood transceiver. Remote control of my K2 is also very interesting. :-) I must try that when I have time! But the post only describes what to do on the controlling KX3, what needs to be done in order for the KX3 to receive frequency information?

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?
