I run Remote Rig with W7RN. In terms of what I think you're looking
for, it really doesn't provide anything. It's a control and audio
interface between two rigs. With K3's at each end, and an IP path to
the remote RR box, turning on your control K3 puts it in TERM mode and
turns the remote K3 on. Your K3doesn't make any RF but it behaves
exactly as if it was, your display is a carbon copy of what the remote
K3 is doing. RR will work with other radios, Ihave no experience with
any of them.
Depending on what might be hanging the remote in TX, turning your
control K3 off may or may not fix the problem. As Rick, N6XI, says,
"Remote Rig involves a *lot* of 'moving parts' and is non-trivial to set
up."

Thanks for all the suggestions. Does anyone run Remote Rig and know what
failsafe it may provide?

In considering remote operation options I'm still struggling with how to
implement a kill switch that is foolproof.
Last night we had several power glitches that left our Comcast modem hung
up. There was really no service outage in the area so all it took was
unplugging and replugging the modem to restore it. Of course it took nearly
5 minutes to completely come alive with internet service active.
This happens often enough that it makes me concerned that if internet
service is interrupted while I'm operating remotely I wouldn't be able to
kill the transmitter output.
So I'm wondering if a better option is to have a deadman timer to kill the
K3 and amp output. Not sure what criteria I would use to reset the deadman.
I'm sure a Raspberry Pi or similar could be programmed to do the work.
Suggestions welcomed!
