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

Re: [Elecraft] Remote power on/off progress for K3
Thanks for the feedback. I want something simple, so hopefully the FSK will work for me. Merry Christmas!

Re: [Elecraft] Remote power on/off progress for K3
You need to provide a way to ground pin 5 on the aux connector. I do this with a remoterig interface. Any remote relay will work. This turns on the rig then the rig stays on even if the closure is momentary. To turn it off you need to send it the power down command via the command serial port. A macro within HRD will do this easily. The DC out jack on the K3 can then power a relay to turn on accessories.
