[K3] Remote Rig number difference?

What is the difference between the Remote Rig number for the K3 – Twins on the RRC Website RRC-1258 MKII’s and the Remote Rig units for remoting the K3’s that are designated RRC-1256 in all the Elecraft literature?

Re: [K3] Remote Rig number difference?

The 1258's are the RemoteRig RRC's required for remote operation, the
1256's are Webswitches, a completely different product line. I use the
1258's for my K3 remote control, as well as a 1256 for my rotor, raising
and lowering my mast and turning my SPE 2K-FA on and off.

Re: [K3] Remote Rig number difference?

Thanks Mitch.. I went to the website you provided but I don’t find the RRC
1256 units shown anywhere. The webswitches are called 1216 units. The
1256,s listed in Elecraft manuals appear to look like 1258 units.. Maybe
the 1258's are just newer units with newer features?

Re: [K3] Remote Rig number difference?

Hi Larry,

I thought I explained it before, but I will make another attempt ;-)

RRC-1258MkIIs: This is the set that does the actual *remote control*. It
provides all audio using the SIP protocol, rig control through CAT, CW
support (including paddle), some limited relays and a virtual COM port
(two if you don't need CAT), etc. See
http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=1051

Webswitch 1216H or RC-1216H: These are web controlled *RELAYS*. The H
version is an all rounder that can be used for rotor control, relays to
control devices, temperature measurement, etc. It has no audio, CW, or
other rig control functionality, it is purely for device control using
relays. See: http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=166
The RC versions are more specialized to control devices, i.e. Acom
2000a, SPE Expert 1K-FA, KPA500, SteppIR and rotors. See
http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=1010

Maybe you got me this time around, hopefully!

73 and happy holidays from Bonita Springs, FL

Larry,

I would call Elecraft and ask them directly, but I think the 1256 may be a typo in the earlier documents or a earlier model. The latest K3 remote manual (apr 2014) on the webside only mentions the 1258.
