Yes, you can use your K3USB cable to gain access to the RTS line, but you would

Hi
I have a few queries re operating my new K3/100 (# 6231). I am using it
with the P3 + Microham MK II for all modes - CW, SSB, RTTY PSK31. It also
has the KAT3 ant tuner. I am in a monthly series of UK 80 metre contests
where each week you use a different mode but I have some problems:-
Not just RS-232 either. A few years ago I had two band decoders, and
they would work fine on one LPT port but not on the other. Turned out
the questionable port was only delivering 3.3 volts as logic 1, not
quite enough for the band decoder.

I'm about to pull the trigger on the KX3 but I'm trying to justify another HF
rig in the shack (specially to the wife :)). Will it be possible in the future
to control a K3 using the KX3, specially since they are similar from the
physical and remote control (same command set?) standpoint.
I was told at the Yuma hamfest that we are looking at least six months before
Elecraft is going to deploy that into the market. I am also excited about this
since the KX3 is so groovy small in form factor.

There are probably many different type of applications of remote control of a
ham station.
Basically I distinguish between
1) control of a truly remote station (with better antennas than what you can
get at the operators site)
2) control of your home station when you are away from home.

I was actually having a similar discussion, about Elecraft, on a local
repeater in the Metro Atlanta area this morning. One point of discussion
is that we here who are Elecrafters all appreciate that Wayne, Eric, and

Hi Paul,
Note that the use of the RRC Micro PC Client does not require one to
carry more than a small (matchbox sized) dongle with a small headset to
match. This gives you access to the RemoteRig installation through your
laptop/notebook, using a control program such as HRD. See

In answer to Qu3, I use DATA-A for PSK31 and it works like a dream. I
simply tune the band, put the rig in Data mode and set it to DATA-A, turn
down my output power to about 20 or 25 watts, and away I go. The question
I would have for you is, what software are you using to run PSK31?
Anxiously awaiting my KX3, but meanwhile am also wondering when Elecraft will
be taking orders for KXPA100 and what the price target is. Also interested
in knowing how the PA connects to KX3: separate outboard BNC jumper or via
onboard connectors.

If you happen to be using a Mac then RUMlog will use the FSK-D mode for

Do you have another 2m receiver, or know somebody who can receive the

Yes,
The KX3 manual has instructions for using PSK31

said about using PSK31 and a computer. There are
instructions for Data A and AFSK A using a PC but
no instructions about using a PC with PSK D.

It is the same as with the K3 Dave. You can use the kx3 utility with psk-d
in addition to direct input from the paddles. Otherwise for psk you need a
computer/sound card and regular digital mode software and use data-a mode.
