After having an interesting conversation with someone familiar with
remoting the K3, I took the plunge. Actually, I had concluded that the
KX3 with all its accessories would satisfy my needs adequately and
considering I have a few other good quality rigs, I heeded my wife's
constant demand that I "downsize" my collection. I think she also meant
telescopes, oscilloscopes, remotely controlled aircraft, motorcycles,
and computers. I acquiesced. I now only have one classic motorcycle.
However, she still thinks 15 well accessorized Windows computers, 2
decent Macs, 4 Android tablets, two iPads, and two good linux boxes is
more than I need. I've gotten to the point of "maybe".
If anyone can use a decent Windows desktop, get in touch off-list. I
have about 10 I really should sell and I will do so for an extremely low
price. Some for the cost of shipping alone. I would hate to throw out
good quality computers and would rather see them go at bargain prices to
a place where they will be useful for someone.
Back on subject, I actually sold my K-Line because we're moving to a
town home and I thought that 500 watts wasn't going to get used and the
KX3 the better choice of the "K" transceivers for space considerations.
Then, a few email exchanges later, I realized that remote operations was
really the best solution. Then, coincidentally, a list member posted a
practically new K3, equipped the same as the one I sold for about the
same price. I bought it and ordered a K3/0 Mini.
I've never done this before and wonder if any list members have been
operating the K3 and K3/0 Mini as a remote station arrangement. I would
be interested in the "Hints & Kinks" of getting this all working.
