I have a friend (a new Elecrafter) who has a K3/0 Mini, and is connected to the RemoteHamRadio service. How is the connection to his logging program done? A USB to serial cable to the COM1 connector on the RemoteRig box doesn't do it. 73, Mike NF4L

I agree Bill, it's a real nuisance. Maybe Wayne can tack this onto his main bill as a rider. It's a real life, almost-every-day irritant. No amount of additional split warning will help, it's still too many button pushes, and inconsistent behavior by mode. 73, Mike NF4L > On Mar 3, 2015, at 22
