Jeff,
powering the remote K3 on/off should work automatically presuming you
have all the cables correct (the remote side RemoteRig box activates a
pin at the ACC connector for that ... if you're also using a
KPA500/KAT500 in the remote setup you might need to break up one line,
not sure anymore, it's been a while since I did it) as well as the
config on the RR boxes set correctly (there should be something like
K3-Twins or Elecraft-Twins or the like).

First I must apologize for my multiple posts of the same message. I
recently moved and when I 'moved' my Comcast connection I've had nothing but
trouble with my email accounts. Long story...
Olli,
Thanks for the answer to one of my problems. I started to go through the
RemoteRig manual last night and I see there is a lot of information in the
220 page manual I need to know. The control K3/0 mini powering the remote
K3 off and not on is still a mystery I guess only Elecraft can answer...

Hi Jeff,
what you configure has no influence on the K3/0 mini! Every single menu item
you change will only influence the remote K3 but not the control side (as
soon as they are connected *all* actions on the mini will only have effect
on the remote K3 ... that's how it is designed). So if you change from rP.L
(where the RemoteRig box is connected) to FP.L you effectively take away the
remote audio input to the remote K3. ;-)
The K3/0 mini is all hardwired! It seems the foster front panel connector is
wired for dynamic mics only. At least my Kenwood fist mike which is a
dynamic one works without any trouble there. The 3,5 mm sockets in the
mini's side can be configured for w/bias or w/o bias.
This is done by a jumper inside the remote head. Of course you could also
solder a small adapter for the foster that puts the 8 V available on a
separate pin as bias to the mic pin.
BTW: The foster mic socket in the mini will also automatically be disabled
as soon as you plug in something to the 3,5 mm mic jack! So don't wonder ...
;-)
For PTT you can also use the PTT jack on the mini's backside (avoids clutter
on the front if you are using a headset anyway).
Hope that helps. Let me know if any other questions ... have been using the
mini for quite some time now ...

While waiting for Elecraft to get back to me on this I thought I would
ask here also.
Along with the issue of the K3/0 mini not powering the remote K3 on
just off, I noticed today that I can't get any audio drive out of the
FP.L mic sel, I only get audio out of the rP.L mic sel. This is no big
deal as I'm using a headset and can simply plug into the mic jack on
the side of the
K3/0 mini, still using the PTT from the main 8 pin foster connector.
This of course would be a problem if I were to try using a desk mic.
When I select FP.L I get no drive audio in the side mic jack, so I
guess the hardware is ok. Anyone else seeing this behavior?
I setup the control 1258 to try and control my K3 tomorrow from my
summer home, that is 60 NMI away. I guess I will leave everything here
at the remote site powered on for the test.

Subject: [Elecraft] Remoterig k3/0 mini won't power up remote K3
I'm in the middle of setting up my K3 K3/0 mini Remoterig 1258 pair
setup.
It's going well, I have most everything done at the remote site. I
have DXLab running on a laptop controlling the remote K3 via the
control K3/0 mini. All I have left to do at the remote site is the
cable mod for the KPA500.
I have one issue. The control station powers down the K3 and KAT500,
but not the KPA500. This should work when I do the KPA500 cable mod.
The issue is that when I turn on the K3/0 mini it doesn't turn on the
remote K3. I see a config item for a Yaesu radio in the Microbit s/w,
but not sure it's for an Elecraft setup. Anyone have an answer to this
problem? Any suggestions ?
Before I try remoting from another site I would like to be able to
power the remote equipment on and off...
