[Elecraft] K3/0 mini remoting problem
Hi guys: Last year, I had wonderful success controlling my big station (K3, KPA500,KAT500) on Maryland's Eastern Shore from our winter home in Key West. When I took the setup down last May, I carefully documented every step required to set things back up. Well, I have just gone through that process, and I can't get it to work --- at least not from within my own LAN and from another home LAN using a downstream router. I can turn on the K3 from the K3/0 mini, and I can hear the audio from the K3 but I cannot control the K3. Also, the freq. readout on the mini does not correspond to the K3 and does not change with movement of the mini vfo dial. The mini cannot turn off the K3. The mini also comes up with TERM showing, which I don't remember from the last time I did this. (I can clear that by holding down the CONFIG button for 3 seconds.). I am pretty sure this has to do with the configuration of the control end RemoteRig. I have had problems in the past getting things to work from within my own home --- whether same LAN or a downstream LAN. Problem is, I don't want to get to Key West and discover it doesn't work. Can anyone suggest things for me to try? Tnx. 73, Brian W3BW Brian F. Wruble, C.F.A.

I had a very similar problem and it turned out to be a little dust! 73 de Jim - KE8G Sent from my iPad On Oct 3, 2014, at 10:00 PM, bwru...@gmail.com bwru...@gmail.com wrote: Hi guys: Last year, I had wonderful success controlling my big station (K3, KPA500,KAT500) on Maryland's Eastern Shore from our winter home in Key West.
