Re: [Elecraft] Remote Power On/Off

[Jim Rhodes]

Partly correct. Pressing the power button to turn off initiates a shutdown
procedure. Pin 8 is only grounded momentarily when you power on and does
not stay grounded while powered up. Powering down by simply removing power
is not recommended.

[Elecraft] Remote Power On/Off

[Carl Ferguson]

I frequently operate remote.  I am new to the K3.

I interpret the manual to say to

To turn the radio back on after my control program sends a PS0; command to
power off

   - turn on the DC power supply (this DC supply operates equipment in
   addition to the K3 and must be turned off when the station is shutdown)
   - ground ACC Pin 8

To turn the radio off

   - send the PS0; command
   - open ACC Pin 8
   - turn off the DC power supply

I infer from this sequence that pressing the Power button to turn on the K3
effectively grounds ACC pin 8.

Conversely, pressing the Power button to turn off the K3, opens ACC Pin 8.

Is this correct?

Thank you.

Re: [Elecraft] Remote power on/off progress for K3

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Actually it's pin 8, not 5. I use the DTR line on a COM port, with a
transistor level converter (identical to the simple FSK RTTY
interface[1]), to trigger it, with custom software. For testing
purposes, Hercules[2] is quite handy.

 power a relay to turn on accessories.

Thanks for the feedback. I want something simple, so hopefully the FSK will 
work for me.


Merry Christmas!

[Elecraft] Remote Power on/off

[rmthorne]

The current subject of having the ability to turn the display on/off while 
operating remote could be solved another way.  

I would prefer to be able to turn the rig on/off with a software command.  Not 
sure if this is a possible modification or not.  Is the power switch a soft 
switch or is it a hard switch?

RE: [Elecraft] Remote Power on/off

[Dick Dievendorff]

You can turn the K3 off with a software command.  To turn it on, you need to 
manipulate the level of one of the AUX I/O pins (the 15-pin connector on the 
back of the rig).  That could be done by an external device of some sort.
