Jim I have used Remote Rig on my TS480 for years. They are great units and I highly recommend them.
I replaced them with a 6300 and a Maestro about a year go. The setup is more complicated at the moment, but that also works well. I have been running remote for about 11 years now and I don't get to my remote base for months at a time. The one thing to remember is that look around your shack and make a list of every button you push. You now have to figure out how to do it from behind a locked door. :) Mike va3mw On Mon, May 29, 2017 at 6:30 PM, Jim Miller <j...@jtmiller.com> wrote: > Thanks for all the suggestions.
