I want to turn my Flex-3000 off and on remotely while I am traveling.
My question is this - can I SAFELY power up and power down my Flex-3000 in
this manner? Also, does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can connect or
disconnect my outdoor antenna from my system via an internet connection
should it appear that electrical storms may occur at my home station?
You could use a SPDT coaxial relay wired so that when it was unpowered
(from the Alinco) the outdoor antenna lead was disconnected from the
radio and perhaps use the other side to ground the radio antenna
connector. When it was powered up the relay would energeize and connect
the radio. If you also had a surge protection device outdoors where the
antenna enters the building (ICE, Polyphaser, etc.) this would offer a
fair bit of "disconnected" protection.
