General discussion forum / K3 with K3/0

« on: 2025-10-31, 19:49:51 »

I recently acquired a K3 and was subsequently given a K3/0 to pair with it.  I can't seem to get them to communicate.  I know from previous experimentation that the K3 can be started remotely, and that my RemoteRig boxes can send CW to the radio and receive audio back from the radio.  I have double-checked all my cables to be sure they are correct, and I have double-checked the settings for the RR boxes.  Here is what I have noted:

1. These are RR Mark II revision 6. SN 5096 on the radio side and SN 5170 on the control side.  In configuring these, I cannot find JMP5 in either of these units.  Is this version compatible with the K3 Twin configuration, and is there something I can configure to this jumper?

2. If I turn on the radio, the RR boxes still send audio to each other, but I have to control with the K3/0 over frequency, mode, or other parameters  Anyone have any suggestions as to where to look?

These RR boxes were updated with v2.95 firmware and bootloader 1.10.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / replacement jumper wires

« on: 2025-07-08, 01:29:33 »

I have a pair of remote rig boxes that came without any jumper wires.  I have confirmed that the basic functions of RR work, by sending CW over the internet and using the RR boxes for audio and keying.

What can be used for replacement jumper wire to configure these boxes to be fully functional with a K3 K3/0 combination?  I need to source this wire in the USA.  I haven't had much luck to date.  Suggestions?

Many thanks,
