Re: [Elecraft] K3 battery and RRC1258?
Tom, I can answer about the Low Battery part of your question - that has to do only with the power supply voltage delivered to the K3 (not the coin battery for the Real Time Clock). There is a BAT MIN menu item where you can specify the voltage below which that message will be blinked on the display periodically. It has a default value of 11 volts - check yours to see what it is actually set at. That feature is nice when you are working with a battery because you can see when the battery needs to be recharged. With a good power supply in use, if you see that message, it would be an indication that you should check your power supply and the PS wiring to the K3 for possible loose connections. For the remote operation questions, someone other than myself will have to answer, I have no experience with that. Brandon at Elecraft is quite knowledgeable and may be able to help along with the support folks at RemoteRig. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/9/2015 1:27 PM, cx...@4email.net wrote: Went to the K3 manual and there is nothing about a battery in the Index.

[Elecraft] K3 battery and RRC1258?
K3 #250 is connected to control RRC 1258 MkII. I have only been using this setup for 4 days. With Win8.1 I find that when I start N1MM+ and the control box, the N1MM does not 'see' the virtual com ports even though the device manager does. I found that pullling out the USB plug from the front of the control RRC seems to 'reset' the com ports and then all is well. This morning when I pulled the USB plug out, the K3 shut down until I plugged the USB back inthen notice that K3 showed 'low battery'. Went to the K3 manual and there is nothing about a battery in the Index. Nabbled K3 battery and yes, there is a battery. One thread did mention a CR2032. Is this correct? and where is the battery located? necessary to remove subRX ? Now why would pulling out the front panel USB plug from the control RRC shut down the K3? It has it's separate power supply a SS-30M? Thanks for tips and suggestions. 73 Tom HP1/CX7TT __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] K3 battery and RRC1258?
I'm fairly new to the RR-1258 too, however I've noticed that things are sensitive to the order in which stuff is turned on/off. The virtual ports seem to come from the RR box. On my computer [Win 7], the Device Mgr says the ports are there but they really aren't ... they're just reserved for when the computer and RR are connected via the USB. If the USB isn't connected, N1MM+ can't find the RR ports N1MM+ seems to want the CAT port to be RR1258 COM1 which on mine ends up being COM15. I don't know about the batter issue, but when my K3 is in TERM mode and I'm connected to the remote, most of the indications I see seem to be coming from the remote, not my control K3. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2016 - www.cqp.org On 11/9/2015 10:27 AM, cx...@4email.net wrote: K3 #250 is connected to control RRC 1258 MkII.
