K3S + K3/0 Mini: Remote powers off, but not on

[K6PO]

K3/0 Mini at control site, K3S at remote site. RRC-1258 MkII's. Controlling everything on the K3S from the K3/0 works fine, including powering off the K3S from the K3/0. That is, everything except:

If the K3S is powered off, turning on the K3/0 does not turn on the K3S.

I guess some configuration setting is wrong somewhere, but what?

Any help gratefully accepted.

GM Paul, is the ACC plug installed into the K3S? (and check both ends)  That carries the turn-on signal from the RRC to the K3S.

Ah OK that is no doubt the problem. The picture on p. 217 of the RRC 1258 user manual doesn't show a RRC I/O to K3 ACC connection, and a cable for that wasn't included with the units I got, so I completely missed it. I'll have to make one.

Thanks!

That's easy enough.  Just make sure you get the correct 15 pin plug!
If you're going to play in CQWW CW, make sure to work us!  I'll be at HQ9X, M2.

Yes it was pretty easy and works like it should. Thanks again for pointing me to it.

I'll be on a bit from home, and if I can get this K3/0 Mini control side sorted, I'll also do some hours remote with the KX6T team.

Roatán looks like a terrific spot to operate from, you should have a strong result.

Yeah, the manual picture shows seven cables from the Radio RRC-1258 to the K3, but only describes six of them.... The Accessory cable is the one that you are missing.
