Dave, I have used Winwarbler and Multipsk on the local computer this
evening, connected to my home station via Skype. Both work well on the
broadband wireless system my local PC was using. I did a test transmission
in RTTY , AFSK, and the audio sounded a little rough at the remote end. I
will have to record Skype throughput levels in the future.
I have no clue how I would send FSK RTTY when accessing my rig over the
Internet, but will give that idea some more thought since it might be
cleaner transmitted tones, right? The tones would generated from rig to
airwaves, no Skype involved. Winwarbler transceiver commands perhaps, I
just changed the rig to FSK mode via Ham Radio Deluxe and sent a transmit
command , I get a single tone rather than FSK RTTY tones (via monitoring TX
output with my ears) . Too tired to think right now. The fix would
involve thinking about Microham's device router , ham radio deluxe, an d
more.
The ham radio deluxe is working well as the vehicle for remote control of
the TS2000.

Was I was on Maui two years ago, I used Skype and LogMeIn to control my
home station (near Boston) and made QSOs in CW, SSB, RTTY, and PSK. The
software was WinWarbler, Commander, and DXView (antenna rotation). The
transceiver being controlled was an Icom 756. I recall no latency issues.
Were I to do this again, I'd instead run these applications locally on my
laptop, and use Skype and virtual serial ports to remotely control the
transceiver and antenna rotator.

*Subject:* [digitalradio] DM780 via remote access
Just tested DM780 with Ham Radio Deluxe and Skype and it worked in
receive mode very well. I connected to my home station via the
Internet, woke up my TS-2000, tuned to 14070 , launched DM780 in PSK31
mode and was able to decode dignals very well. All this from my
neighbour's house, next step is my laptop and the local coffee shop.
I am assuming the latency with Skype and digital modes can cause some
issues , but did not see any on receive only. Has anyone tried
transmitting PSK31 via remote access? I saw W1CDO doing it with JT65A
mode last weekend but I am not sure if he was using HRD and Skype.
If anyone wants to connect to my station, for receive only at this
time, feel free to contact me and I will set things up that will grant
you access. You will need Skype and Ham Radio Deluxe , both FREE. I
'll test transmit later today.
