K3/0 mini

[Bill-3]

Does anyone use the K3/0 mini as a movable faceplate on their main desk?
If so, how is it connected to the K3?

Yes, but it's not as portable as you'd think. I have the whole remoterig
set up and I'm remoting a whole foot. It actually frees up a lot of
space on my desk.

Does that mean all the wires and hardware that would be used for a real
remote operation are needed just to get the faceplate on the desk for
ease of use? Please explain - it has been very difficult to get this
question answered.

Thanks,

It's not completely clear from the K3/0-mini documentation (which is
rather high-level), but it appears that it only has a TTL interface
(for connection to the RemoteRig box), and not RS232, so you wouldn't
be able to directly connect it to a K3 using a "null modem" cable, as
you could with the original K3/0. Perhaps you could build a
level-converter and make it work - I don't know if it's that simple or
not. It'd be a rather expensive "upgrade" anyway.....
