K3 - Fix for older RemoteRig boxes

K5WA
In case anyone is trying to use an older (pre March/11/2011) RemoteRig RRC
system with their new K3/0 like I am, you will find that the remote K3
powers up upon simply plugging in the I/O cable which is connected to the
ACC plug on the remote K3 whether you want it on or not.  You are also not
able to turn the rig off remotely.  Mike, SM2O, from RemoteRig found that
this is fixed by removing D10 in the RADIO RRC.  A picture and full thread
can be found at http://www.remoterig.com/forum/index.php?topic=1346.0  You
may need to register in the RemoteRig forum to see it.

I hope this saves someone the hours of head scratching and double-checking
it cost me.  ;-)  Once RemoteRig figured this out, my system works like a
champ.  If you buy a new RRC from Elecraft or RemoteRig you will not have a
problem but I've been playing with this idea for a couple of years and
actually have a couple of the RRC systems in hand to hopefully implement a
full SO2R system one day.

YMMV,

Bob K5WA
