K3/RemoteRig Serial Question

[Mike Murray-4]

I've looked thru all of my manuals and still have a question regarding the
serial port on the remote site connection.  Does it use the same basic
connections as the K3 (pins 2,3, &5) or does it also utilize RTS and DTR
(pins 4 & 7)?  I would like to set up a remotely operated switch for the
serial connections as a backup, but want to be certain I get everything
that's needed.

I don't see an answer for you Mike ... are you talking about the
"RRC1258 COM2" virtual port that shows up when the USB is plugged in
that can be used for controlling other equipment [e.g. antenna
switches]?  If so, I believe the 1258 replicates a complete RS-232 set
of signals from control end to the radio end.  I'm not sure if it's
2-way however [i.e. bring status data back to the control end].  There
is at least one config setting to make it work.

Mike,

The answer is found on pages 13 and 18 of the RemoteRig manual......NO.

Just a tip; I suggest posing RemoteRig specific questions on their forum.
