For reasons of family convenience, I have started to run my KX3 remotely in my Loft using our WiFi Lan from a computer three floors down.
I have assembled a Raspberry Pi 3 in a case with a 7” LCD screen. The inbuilt wifi on this puts in on my home network. Using ser2net on the Raspberry Pi, I can run KX3UI on my iMac three floors down ( configured as a Piglet ). This is well documented elswhere I then set up a virtual screen screen session with the Rasbian’s RealVNC and set the resolution to 1024x800. I can then run WSJT-X on the remote Raspberry Pi in the higher res screen session upstairs , but see and operate it on my downstairs iMac computer. I haven't yet managed to get voice over IP for SSB, but if PSK31 or the the JTxx modes interest you then it can be done easily and cheaply. I haven’t yet setup a remote relay driven by the Raspberry Pi to start the KX3 up. but it should be an easy job to send a 100msec +9v pulse to the mic input line . When that happens I can close the loft cover . John G7LTQ > I will be bed-ridden with a broken leg for a few weeks.
