RemoteRig K3/0 mini questions

[Jeff Griffin]

While waiting for Elecraft to get back to me on this I thought I would ask
here also.

 

Along with the issue of the K3/0 mini not powering the remote K3 on just
off, I noticed today that I can't get any audio drive out of the FP.L mic
sel, I only get audio out of the rP.L mic sel. This is no big deal as I'm
using a headset and can simply plug into the mic jack on the side of the
K3/0 mini, still using the PTT from the main 8 pin foster connector. This of
course would be a problem if I were to try using a desk mic. When I select
FP.L I get no drive audio in the side mic jack, so I guess the hardware is
ok. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

I setup the control 1258 to try and control my K3 tomorrow from my summer
home, that is 60 NMI away. I guess I will leave everything here at the
remote site powered on for the test.

Subject: [Elecraft] Remoterig k3/0 mini won't power up remote K3

 

I'm in the middle of setting up my K3 K3/0 mini Remoterig 1258 pair setup.

It's going well, I have most everything done at the remote site. I have
DXLab running on a laptop controlling the remote K3 via the control K3/0
mini. All I have left to do at the remote site is the cable mod for the
KPA500.

 I have one issue. The control station powers down the K3 and KAT500, but
not the KPA500. This should work when I do the KPA500 cable mod. The issue
is that when I turn on the K3/0 mini it doesn't turn on the remote K3. I see
a config item for a Yaesu radio in the Microbit s/w, but not sure it's for
an Elecraft setup. Anyone have an answer to this problem? Any suggestions ?

Before I try remoting from another site I would like to be able to power the
remote equipment on and off...
