Due to my specific circumstances, having a rig that can be fully operated from an easily moveable control face late (control head) is a great asset. I use my TS480 a lot, as it has a removable control head that can be placed anywhere on my desk. I use a PigKnob on the K3, which is a great addition for the purposes, as I have grown more and more fond of operating the K-Line over the 480. Now I find I'd like to have capabilities similar to the 480 for the K3.

Now the question: Can the K3/0 mini be used as a moveable control head (ala TS-480) on the K3? If so, does it require a complicated computer interface and equipment? Or, is there a means to connect it directly to the K3 with a single line?

The attractiveness of the 480 is the simplicity. Unfortunately, to duplicate the K-Line with a display is an ongoing project here. Auto tuner and small amplifier for use with the 480 is duck soup simple. Please remember this query is not about the 480, except for use as an example of the mobility of the faceplate. Not being stupid, I know full well which radio does what.
