k3 remote

[NOEL POULIN]

Anybody in this group using the K3S \REMOTE with the k3/mini control
head and remote rig boxes?
I would like to control my k3s remote with the control head(mini) and
control rig boxes...
I would like to control the k3s from another room...not over  the
internet....
I would have many questions to ask before ordering........I am using the
P3...and I was told that the P3 must be off when operarting the k3
remote???.....
Thanks
Noel

The Remote Rig interfaces work fine on an internal LAN (Local Area Network).  Simply configure the RRC-1258MKII device (the one by the K3/0-mini) to connect to the Local IP address of the Remote Rig RR-1258 device controlling the K3s.

Not true; the P3 can remain on (it will turn on if you have the power for the P3 supplied by the K3s).   However, you won’t have access to the P3 screen and buttons from the K3/O-Mini operating position in the other room.  This means of course that there isn’t much point having the P3 on anyway if using the K3/0-Mini in the other room.

Hope this helps,

Well ... if your control position and the remote are in the same house,
you could run a length of RG-58 from the remote K3S IF output to the P3
near the K3/0 where you can see the screen.

That won't work for me, my control site is about 60 km +/- from the
remote that actually makes the RF and has all the antennas.  Washoe and
Storey counties won't give me an easement. [:-)
