[Elecraft] K3S with Remoterig RRC1258

Hi All We have good success using a K3/0 mini to control a remote K3. We would now like to extend the system and have the possibility to use a K3S as the control rig and/or a K3S as the remote rig. I have, despite numerous searches, been able to discover the radio control connectivity for the

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

I don't think you're missing anything, Fred. You're describing what you do at the control site whereas much of the thread has concerned the radio site. There are differences that I alluded to in my long post but did not detail. At my control site I use an SO2R box to route mic, key, phones, and

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

All good until you try to use the P3 locally. Then cabling turns into spaghetti again. We'll not exactly spaghetti but less orderly. Spoiled by local K3S/P3. ;-) jim ab3cv On Mon, Aug 14, 2017 at 2:56 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: > Yes, exactly. Elecraft provides [for a small

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

Teamviewer and similar are remote desktop tools that are indeed useful for controlling automation when the user interface application can not be run at the control site. However, like Fred says, these tools are awkward. I try to minimize their use. There are two mitigating techniques: 1. My

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

Yes, exactly. Elecraft provides [for a small charge] a cable adapter that neatly connects the RemoteRig to the K3s or K3/0 via the USB port. Your micand headphones go into the K3s or K3/0 giving you all the options of front/back panel, bias on/off from the menu, etc.To operate locally from

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

Now you've gone and confused me again. [:-) My control radio is a K3 [old, S/N 642]. I have a9PDT data switch that switches the K3 serial RS-232 CAT port from the RemoteRig [for remote operations] to my local computer [when running from home]. The K3 requires that I connect the mic and

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

Thanks for all info so far. I *do* enjoy the reduced cabling resulting from the upgrade from K3 to K3S. Looks like that goes away with RemoteRig. I'll keep looking... 73 jim ab3cv On Mon, Aug 14, 2017 at 6:45 AM, Jim Rhodes wrote: > Rick and Skip, you forget that the k3s

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

Rick and Skip, you forget that the k3s has a direct UPS connection and internal sound card that users often prefer to use as there is then less cabling involved. This is not possible with remoterig as far as I know. Wish it were. Jim Rhodes K0XU On Aug 13, 2017 23:59, "Fred Jensen"

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

There are two questions on the list, here's what I know to both: Re quoted message below: Yes. RemoteRig will install 4 "virtual" COM ports. View them in the Device Manager under PORTS. If you're fortunate, they will be labeled RRC-1258 COM0, -COM1, -COM2, and -COM Extra. See below if

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

It's not nearly as bad as one might think, Jim. I operate my mountain station both locally and remotely. When I leave that location, I have a little checklist. Well, it's not completely little, but most of it is stuff that rarely changes. I don't have to move ANY cables to convert from local to

Re: [Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

Another K3/0-mini RR question: If I have a laptop at the control point running my logging program or N1MM+ for contesting how does it communicate with K3/0-mini if the mini is connected to the RR? thanks jim ab3cv On Sun, Aug 13, 2017 at 8:08 PM, Jim Miller wrote: > I

[Elecraft] K3s and RemoteRig

I have a K3s, P3 (and someday a KPA1500) and I'm considering a RemoteRig and K3/Mini for remote operation. I realize the P3 access and KPA1500 if any will need to come from some other source like Teamviewer or VNC. I need that for controlling the rotator and power switching anyway. I'm told that
