Once again this year I'm planning to visit friends over the Thanksgiving weekend. Unlike in the past, I won't be able to set up for CQWW-CW from where I'm staying. Instead, I'd like to remote back in to my home station.
Last year I used RemoteHams software and N1MM+, and it worked OK as proof-of-concept, but I wasn't knocked out with the whole workflow. The latency wasn't a big problem, but the lack of paddles was. The macros in N1MM+ were fine, but too often I wanted to send by hand, which I couldn't easily do with the RCFOrb client software. The server side software worked OK, but it's very finicky. I'd like a hardware solution, but not something as expensive or unwieldy as a K3/0. I'm thinking along the lines of something I can throw in a briefcase, connect to my laptop, and plug in headphones and paddles (or a mic, heavens forbid) and not have to rely on a dodgy piece of Windows software. Any thoughts? I remember that the Remotehams guys had a hardware box but I've never known anybody who used it, and I'm not sure if RemoteRig's boxes are what I'm after either (don't they only work in contention with a K3/something?). --------------------------------------------- 73 and Good DX Peter, W2IRT President, North Jersey DX Association DXCC Card Checker Letter O Manager, ARRL Incoming 2nd District QSL bureau ______________________________________________________________ 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
