K3/0 Mini

Elecraft mailing list
This is probably a silly question, but here goes. In reading the sales material for the new Flex Maestro, I was intrigued by the idea of operating over a wireless LAN so the radio can go with you around the house. Can we do the same thing with the K3/0 Mini?  K0GFY  R. Hunter Ellington

An engineer friend who saw the Maestro in their booth described it as
something of the quality he might have done in high school.

Hi Hunter,

This isn't an answer to your question but you might find the information useful. Are you familiar with WiFi extenders? They are used to extend wireless signals to weak zones in your house. Some of them also have an Ethernet port for connection to a non WiFi equipped device.

I use the inexpensive Netgear WN3000RP. There are faster and slower versions available as well.

Just about any access point will have a "bridge mode" and a "client mode."

Client mode is usually what you want.

They aren't range extenders, but that function doesn't help in the
application you're describing.

I own a kx3, a ts480 with remote rig, and a flex 6300.

The flex solution is going to replace my ts480/remote rig due to the improvement in rf deck for a remote base. Also, their so2r solution just made my setup at the far end so much easier.

Short story, is I ordered on.

The K3/0 does not have a network connection as part of the solution.
There are two ways to use it with the Wireless lan:
- If you use the RemoteHams software, you can use a Windows tablet
as the interface (You can get a Dell Venue 8 tablet on eBay for about
$100) and plug your K3/0 into it.
- You can use a RemoteRig box with a Wireless interface or a Wireless
Bridge.
