RemoteRig Units
Locked
 
|
I may need to buy another unit for my K3. I just discovered that they are
no longer sold through the Elecraft website. Is that correct? Do I buy directly from RemoteRig? Are they available anyplace else? Tnx. 73 de Brian/W3BW -- *Brian F. Wruble, C.F.A.

HRO used to sell them too. I think they still do.

The Elecraft website still lists the Remote Rig units (RRC-1258MKII) for use with the K3/0-mini with pricing but there aren’t images showing what the products look like. I was also able to add the Remote Rig 1258MKII to the website’s ‘cart’ so presumably that means they are still available. An alternative source is Ham Radio Outlet. The last time I looked, they were selling the entire line of Remote Rig products. However, RRC-1258MKII units purchased through HRO would require the user installing the proper internal jumpers to work with Elecraft whereas the version offered by Elecraft are preconfigured for their products. HRO also offers the RC-1216H that provides a web-based interface to remotely manage the KPA-500 as well as certain rotors such as the Green Heron RT-21. I purchased two RC-1216H devices - one to control my KPA-500 and the second to control my Orion rotor through the Green Heron controller. I just wish they expanded their product’s capability to also manage the KAT500! Hope this helps, Barry Baines, WD4ASW Keller, TX (Currently in Boston, MA) > > Tnx. 73 de Brian/W3BW > -- > > *Brian F.

I did purchase from Elecraft, and the jumpers were all installed. I was up
and running in minutes. Thanks to all who responded. 73 de Brian/W3BW On Fri, Nov 15, 2019 at 8:23 AM Gerry Hull <[hidden email]> wrote: > The advantage of buying from Elecraft is the RRC units are preconfigured > for K3 twins and the internal jumpers are all configured. > > After many years and many stations.
