Now I am confused.I liked Doug's first reply. Is that not the case? Someone else said the K3/0 will turn power off and on remotely at the slaved K3/100. Now I am hearing no it won't. Is that right?
I am surprised if Elecraft designed things so that you can totally remote control EXCEPT for power. It is no trick to remotely control power to the DC supply, but the manual says if you shut the rig down there, there might be loss of some memory items. -- 70 is the new 40. Brian F.
