I'm setting up a RemoteRig control site using my K3 which I'll use to
remotely operate W7RN. Can someone tell me how my K3 gets into TERM mode? Setting up the RemoteRig box is a non-trivial process. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2016 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Fred, agreed. I'm glad I had someone with experience to help me set up the
RemoteRig Box. To put the K3 in TERM mode, hold in the menu button for 5 seconds. To restore to normal operation, repeat the procedure. David sent me the K3-K3S Remote FAQ which has a lot of good information on remote operation. The K3/0 manual has a lot of good information as well.

Hey Fred and group,
You can do that to put the K3 into TERM mode, but there is absolutely no reason to do it. It will happen automatically. I hoping that people don't use the "Push the MENU button for 5 seconds" as Standard Operating Procedure. It is an indication that you have another issue. "Setting up the RemoteRig box is a non-trivial process." Unfortunately, The RemoteRig products are great stuff, but they are designed to be used by a lot of different radios. The documents Brandon and the team have put together from Elecraft are good, but can be confusing if you don't pay close attention. The RRC boxes are very configurable -- which is a good thing if you know what's going on, but can be terrible of your not sure what settings do. Tie that with the fact that the manuals are many revs behind the actual firmware, and it's a recipe for frustration for new guys. Setting up the station-side router forwards are pretty straightforward, but if you don't know internet routing, it can lead to trouble. I've put together 6 different remote stations using RRCs now, so I have a pretty good handle on the recipe, especially for the K3 twins. I think I'll do a blog post with this recipe, also talking about the pitfalls you can run into. I'll post a link on the reflector here when I'm done. 73, Gerry W1VE ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
