Thanks to all who responded by email - those were some really good ideas. I'll let you know how it works out with pictures and diagrams. I was surprised at the number of us working on similar objectives. Thanks, Bill W2BLC K-Line __

To a limited degree (band, mode, AF gain, and several other primary controls). See page 28 of the KX3 owner's manual. 73, Wayne N6KR On Mar 22, 2014, at 6:04 PM, Gary K9GS garyk...@wi.rr.com wrote: Quick question..Can a KX3 control a K3??

The next assumption would be that the firmware on the K3/0-Mini operates the same as on the K3/0, in that you can invoke the remote protocol by holding MENU until you see TERM. I suppose that's not needed (you do not need to do it on the regular K3/0 afaik, it knows it's a remote head).

Although the Control RRC contains a keyer that connects to a paddle via the PAD jack, you can also generate Morse locally with a hand key, external keyer or computer and inject it via two pins on the Control RRC IO jack, an RJ45. That's what I do using a computer and an external keyer so I can

To effectively use the Mini on the desk in a close to the operator position and the K3/100 at the back of the desk in its normal position would require that only a single cable run from the Mini to the K3/100 be used. RX audio would be picked up from the K3/100 as normal and key/mic inputs

For CW keying with a paddle, I believe that the keyer in the RRC is used - NOT the keyer in the K3/0... Correct. so I'm not sure how you would do remote paddle CW without the RRC. AFAIK, there is NOT code in the K3 firmware to accept paddle input and relay it over the serial connection to

As you may already know, any K3 can control another one at a remote location. This allows you to have the experience of operating the radio, while taking advantage of great station locations with larger antenna arrays and other features. Many K3 users operate this way exclusively, which is why
