K3/0 - mini

Jan Erik Holm-2
If I understand my source correctly there is
going to be one such thing available.

Looking for more info.

Elecraft posted a photograph on Twitter last week at the same time as the
KXPA100 photos and, I believe, showed it at Visalia.  A full size K3 front
panel on a KX3-like enclosure - possibly thinner than the KX3 (hard to tell
from photo). They say it will be shown at Friedrichshaven too.

I saw it at Visalia and this is a good description.

This kind of remote rig setup makes possible a new, and possibly
very perverse kind of operation. Take your mobile rig around the
country and work yourself on the remote rig from various
locations. A really dedicated operator could get WAS this way.
Of course it would not be possible to log the contacts on eQSL.
I don't know what LotW would do with working yourself from
different QTHs. What a QSL checker would say about paper QSLs
from yourself I leave to your imagination, but at least postage
would be cheap. :-)

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV

I would be extremely interested in this for business travel and would be a great option to the PC micro dongle that remoterig offers.  Is there a timeline for this to be launched to market?

A little bit off topic. 

Bill, you stated [quote]

Wouldn't that be deliberately CHEATING?

Re: [OT] Working yourself was K3/0 - mini

Bill Frantz
Well it depends on the specific rules but I don't see it as much
different than making a sked to work a difficult place. The RF
is going through the air between two radios in two separate
locations. Of course the checks and balances of having two hams
vouch for the contact are missing so the rule makers might want
to forbid it on that basis. But then since the whole thing
involves only one person there is no reason he can's issue the
certificate too. :-)

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
