One of the challenges I've had with operating remote was leaving the K3 on
when departing
this could be for the office, To visit grandkids, campout using phone as
hotspot, etc.
No method to remotely turn on the K3..
The K3 can be easily turned on Remote via Pin 8 on ACC port
but how to pull it low?
My hardware was ready for three devices, USB to RS232 adaptor, W3YY
interface board to get the optical isolators
Add connectors
Software to fire each of the three control lines on RS232 port was missing..
Wayne, W5XD wrote program that I could use and placed it in public domain
that was final missing piece.
Recently tested and turned the Elecraft K3 on from PC!! works
This would work for any device requiring a pin be pulled low to activate
setup a web page with "How I did it", includes pictures which don't always
post on reflectors
