Just FYI in case anyone asks about this someday. I operate 2 remote K3 stations (one at each home) from a K3/0-mini and RemoteRig units. At first I tried using a laptop and connecting audio/serial cables to the K3/0-mini. Eventually I was able to make it work. Considering the mic and speaker connectors are the same, I used USB mode instead of data mode. I found this messy.
Since I have a PC at each house next to the radio, and already hooked up to the radio for local operating on digital modes which normally use DataA mode, this came in handy for remote usage. DataA modes switches from mic to line in/out. Setting config to Mic+LineIn and using DataA mode conveniently lets me use the local PC to run digital modes and view/operate the program (such as WSJT-X) via a remote desktop connection program but still operate normally from the K3/0-mini for CW/Voice modes. This also means I can leave it on to monitor and report signals while away, at least for the station I last connected to provided I leave the K3/0-mini on, else the remote K3 would be turned off. I can operate the K3/0-mini volume control and see the frequency and TX status as normal, but the volume is now independent of the audio routed to the digital program, so I do not have to listen to the audio, nor lose audio due to a sound card being plugged in between the K3/0-mini and a laptop. The one odd thing I am looking into is when the desktop connection is lost or minimized for some time, the one home station using a laptop loses its display and I have to disconnect and reconnect, and the WSJT program stops hearing audio in. Simply restarting the WSJT-X (1900 rc3) or going into WSJT-X setting/Audio and changing audio in setting and saving restores the audio in the program. I have yet to see if this is an issue with my other station which is on a PC. Both machines are on 24/7 running home automation and alarm system integration. I will be digging into this further as the offending lap[top is in my basement with the transverters and amplifiers and cabling, rarely ever seen, the K3/0-mini is upstairs. I am using the Wi-Fi option at times on my control side RemoteRig, and recently successfully operated from my RV using campground Wi-Fi in Moab Utah. For that I had to connect the RemoteRig via Internet Connection Sharing on my laptop which provided the connection to the campground service. This is because the campground service requires a web log in, something the RemoteRig does not handle. I plan to install a Mo-Fi router in the RV to handle that long term. - Mike, K7MDL -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
