Re: [Elecraft] What to use to turn on remotely my K3 ?

When I did it about a year ago I used HRD plus a toggle on the appropriate interface line on the DB15 plug to power on and off the K3. I used a relay controlled by USB. There are plenty of interfaces available, all you need to do is write some simple code in C++. Many of the EBay interfaces

Maybe you have the second receiver and want to tune with VFO B, however, if you don't have one then here's what I do rather than messing with VFO B and splits. (I've tried the Split macro, but it's always wrong. If I program it for 1 KHz the DX will say UP 3. It never fails) Tune in the DX
