[K3] Terminal Mode

Can someone point me to a writeup of the K3 Terminal Mode? I have looked at the K3 User's Manual, the K3 Programmer's Manual, the release notes for all the firmware updates, and the Help command on the K3 Utility. The writeup of the K3/0 and K3/0 mini with RemoteRig mentions that the K3 itself can be used "in Terminal Mode". But it doesn't define Terminal Mode or give any details.

This is not the same as the Terminal function of the K3 Utility. This is a mode of the K3 itself when used as the control head at the client end of a RemoteRig setup.

Thanks and 73,

Oliver

Re: [K3] Terminal Mode

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the pointer. I had seen it. Like the other manuals, it says that, "The K3/0-Mini, full-size K3/0 or a standard K3 in ‘terminal mode’...," can be used as a client control box. But it still doesn't define or give any detail about this Terminal Mode of the K3.

The reason I'm interested is that KG6YPI (and others I presume) has written the RemoteHams client software so that a K3 (and only a K3, K3/0, or KX3 at the moment) can be used as a control head for a RemoteHams connection to a distant server station. This works very well. BUT, when the remote server station is also a K3, the software automatically puts the client (i.e., my) K3 into Terminal Mode. This replaces my client options with those of the server K3. Sometimes (read, often) I do not want those options. I want my own. So, I'm looking for a way to turn the Terminal Mode OFF. Then maybe my client K3 will act just like it does when connected to a server Icom, etc. That is, it will not be as well integrated but it will also not lose its local configuration choices, memories, etc.

73,

Oliver
