John: Check out http://www.trx-manager.com for rig control and http://www.skype.com for audio.
Both work great. TRX Manager can be controlled over tcp-ip and skype does an excellent job with audio. You really need a high speed connection for it to work well. I'm currently running a TS-480 via remote and its almost plug and play. TRX will handle rotor control, cw and will give you full software control of the K2. You will need a computer at both ends as Skype uses the sound card to get audio back and forth. One of these days when I build a K2 I will remote it also. Also check out N8LP's web site at http://www.telepostinc.com/n8lp.html he has quite a few good ideas with diagrams along with some downloadable software. I don't have any connection with the above links, I'm just a happy user. I've been running remote since the late 90's and this is the best system by far. 73, Rich - N5ZC ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Huffman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Elecraft" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 5:12 AM Subject: [Elecraft] Remote K2 > Due to antenna restrictions, I am thinking of controlling my K2 remotely and > would be interested in any advice. > > I want to run the K2 control software from my home computer and connect to the > radio over a virtual serial port via telephone or UHF link.
