I am fairly new to Elecraft and the K3 but I do have the K3/0 mini and the Remoterig twins for K3. I ordered and installed the WiFi board for the Remoterig. All works excellent. As long as the WiFi connection is OK, the K3/0 mini connects to the remote site and operates as if you are there. Many QSO's using the remote equipment and the other party cannot tell the difference. I am just using the standard MH2 mike. I do like the WiFi option as if allows me to establish stored WiFi connects that are remembered when I return so I simply set up the K3/0 mini and remote rig, turn it on and with a minute or so, it is ready to operate.
Latency is small and not really noticeable so no issues there. You can use the K3/0 mini within your network but you may need a different destination IP than if you are outside the network. I have operated both ways. I have not played with the codecs yet. My audio reports are good. I do have a PC at the remote site and I connect to it with Team Viewer which allows me to operate and monitor the KAT500 and KPA500 via my laptop. I use the Elecraft beta control software for this. Home QTH is Calgary, Alberta. My K3 is British Columbia (VE7). I have operated from Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale and Calgary on a fairly regular basis. And, at the K3 site, take the K3/0 mini onto the deck outside and operate there when the weather is nice. Just a few comments. Randy VE6RMB ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- I'm in the midst of a terrible urge to spend some $$'s and the K3/0'-Mini's siren call is hard to resist. I've done a bit of reading on the Remoterig products and there is scare info on the K3/0 mini. I'd love to hear any testimonials, rig setups, real-world latency commentary, or even how you manage the firmware. Anyone play with the codecs? Thoughts on the different audio quality? My current though is using the K3/0-Mini on the same local network and I do some occasional work travel, might be nice to take it with me.
