Hi Lee, There is at present no way to put the K3 into "sleep" mode (i.e. a reduced-current mode from which the rig could be "woken up" with a serial port command). Good idea, though.
If you want to minimize current drain: turn the sub receiver off, set LCD BRT to 2, switch to 40 or 20 m (where the fewest relays are energized), bypass the ATU, switch to antenna 1, turn ATTN, PRE, and NB off, and set AF GAIN to minimum. Fortunately the K3 only draws about 1/3rd as much current as most desktop transceivers even when it's "awake." 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
