Hi, Jim - I'm a big fan of your guidance on bonding/shielding. There aren't a
lot of variables to play with between the K3 Mini and the Remote Rig - I did
all the usual things that have solved hum in the past, but didn't see any
improvement. I'm going to run the Mini off of a battery, see if that
YahŠ it sucks. I knew when I moved to an apartment that staying on HF was
going to be a challenge, but I was not prepared for the breaker issue. I
found that with my kx3 and a wonderwand wonder loop on my kitchen table,
that with 10 watts I can do some jt65 and wspr on 20m without popping the
I recall reading something in an ARRL publication or newsletter that at
least one manufacturer of AFCI breakers has addressed and corrected the
problem of RF susceptibility. That company is Eaton.
It is a bummer that consumers must suffer from products that do not have
sufficient RF
Does anyone have K3/0 they want to part with? I'm stuck in apartment, I've
tried everything from wires to magnetic loops. My problem is not getting
out, its AFCI breakers. Any rf out and they pop (including the apartments
around me.)
So if anyone has one they want to part with, let me know

Hi,
Sorry, I don't have a K3/0, but your problem certainly caught my interest. I
had never heard of AFCI breakers before, but a quick Google search got me
quickly reeducated and my eyes glazed over. Wow, these RF prone devices have
been mandatory since 1999! Another federal mandate to protect

It would seem that it is still not possible to fix 'stupid'!

It all depends on what you want to achieve.
There are many different reasons for hams to want to operate RC. Different
requirements probably call for different solutions.

I've been using the Remote Rig interfaces with my K3 for several years and
the K3/Mini for the past 6 months or so. I'm a big fan of the Remote Rig
devices, not a fan of the K3/Mini.
I started out doing remote operating with the K4VV group using an all
software approach and the Remote Rig devices
I have used the RemoteRig with a K3/0 (not the mini) to a K3/KPA500 combination
and a SteppIR vertical. It works fine, but the RX audio is certainly not a
strong as directly through the RemoteRig.
As others have noted this not quite plug and play and some tweaking of the
parameters is
Good perception, Jim... experience pays off. We had this same problem
with Andy, K2LE. We have two remoterig remote ends connected to the same
common remote station. My audio has been flawless. Andy kept having poor
audio -- muffled, microphonic sounds but no clear audio. It turned out to

I've been using the K3/0 mini for about a year for casual DXing and for
many contests.
The K3/0 mini is perfect -- a mirror of your K3. Once you get used to the
the fact that
you are setting menus on the Remote radio, all will be good.
The mix that is important is how you use the K3/0 to

Hi John,
I know nothing about these products other than a vague one
I'm in the midst of a terrible urge to spend some $$'s and the K3/0'-Mini's
siren call is hard to resist. I've done a bit of reading on the RemoteRig
products and there is scare info on the K3/0 mini.
I'd love to hear any testimonials, rig setups, real-world latency

I am fairly new to Elecraft and the K3 but I do have the K3/0 mini and the
Remoterig twins for K3. I ordered and installed the WiFi board for the
Remoterig. All works excellent. As long as the WiFi connection is OK, the
K3/0 mini connects to the remote site and operates as if you are there.

Hi!
I have used the K3 mini extensively over the year. Both over a ADSL line and
4G. . Latency is dependent on the internet access - on ADLS it is 10 ms on
4G 30-40 ms.The K3 mini is so well established and works so well with the K3
and the RRC 1258 units so it is just for you to go and buy it.
I used mine to remote my radio all of about two feet. It was nice having
a smaller control head on my computer desk. I bought it thinking I could
use it to work Kansas while I was on vacation in Japan - and then I
never used it for that. Kansas is the only state I don't have on CW.
