Yes, exactly. Elecraft provides [for a small charge] a cable adapter
that neatly connects the RemoteRig to the K3s or K3/0 via the USB port.
Your micand headphones go into the K3s or K3/0 giving you all the
options of front/back panel, bias on/off from the menu, etc.To operate
locally from the control site, just pull the USB connector from the
RemoteRig box.
With a K3 as control, as I have, the RemoteRig connects to the K3 RS-232
CAT port, and when operating remote, the mic and phones go to the RRC
box. For local operation on my HOA Stealth ant, I have to disconnect the
CAT port and move the mic and phones to the K3. The K3 internal keyer
only works locally.
So, not *all* the cablingand plugging/unplugging goes away with a K3s or
K3/0, but much of it does, what is left is fairly esthetic [if you're
into artful cables], and the functions in the K3s or K3/0 all work
normally, remote or local. Almost enough to prompt me to upgrade to a K3s.

Thanks for all info so far. I *do* enjoy the reduced cabling resulting
from the upgrade from K3 to K3S. Looks like that goes away with
RemoteRig.
I'll keep looking...
