This is the kind of stuff that can get screwed up in file interchange. That said, I use tables in Word to insert graphics and photos. They are simple tables, typically one or two rows by two columns, with the graphic/photo on one side and the text on the other, and this formatting tends to hold up OK going from Word to Libre Office where I generate the pdf. There are several dozen docs on my website done this way. 73, Jim K9YC __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 190, Issue 22 Open Office etc
A note of caution interchanging documents. For plain text sharing and editing documents is fine in a varietyof word processing apps. However when it becomes a table, and more so withembedded graphics then the file conversions between different word processorsis non-reciprocal.If you set up a document eg in MS Word, post it to anotherword processor. Add and remove a space to force a new save and send it backthen whilst it looks fine the two files are different. It can be a time bomb. We used to prepare documents, text and formulae in tables inMS Word which colleagues would edit in whatever system they had. After a few rounds the table format wouldcrash rendering the document useless. After some 'fun' we repeatably demonstrated the problem. Itwas not necessarily the very last format conversion that caused the problem,omitting an earlier change made 'this' change work as expected. The faulty document looked OK but failed thenext, or next but one, change of platform. 73 Alan G0HIQ __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] Flex6600 + KPA500 + KAT500
Another idea is to run a Raspberry Pi on the network running Node Red software. The nice thing about Node Red is I can monitor and control equipment through any web browser and not have the bandwidth overhead of a remote desktop solution. This is key if anyone is doing this over cellular and is in poor coverage area or does not have unlimited data. In Node Red I created “flows” which allow me to monitor and control: KPA1500 rotor (Via PSTRotator AZ IP server) DLI Web Switch Pro to turn equipment and relays on and off. Flex 6700 to monitor radio info You could have Node Red talk to the KPA500/KAT500 via serial connection and it should support any of the functions listed in the KPA500 programmers reference manual. I think there is one person on the Flex Community that has written a Node Red flow for the KPA500/KAT500. Here’s some pics of my Node Red setup. One shows it split screen on my iPad with the Flex IOS software. I only have the controls on screen for functions I wanted readily available. I am planning to add ability to retune the KPA1500 tuner as well. Right now I only use the tuner on 80 meters. https://photos.app.goo.gl/YEXRgQgn12Q6j6Cq8 73 Dave wo2x Sent from my iPad > On Feb 27, 2020, at 6:08 AM, Mike - W5JR wrote: > > Mick, I have a KPA/KAT500 combo connected to my 6600.

Re: [Elecraft] Flex6600 + KPA500 + KAT500
Mick, I have a KPA/KAT500 combo connected to my 6600. Both the KPA and KAT are connected to “serial” ports (USB to serial adapters) on the shack computer that runs 24/7. None are connected to the Flex. Elecraft’s excellent remote software is running on the shack computer in Host mode. This has to be started manually, but could be auto started, I’ve just not done so. I can access my shack computer remotely to (re)start the hosting if the computer reboots for any reason. From the laptop, I can connect to the shack hosted software and have full control over both the KPA and the KAT. A quick bump of RF, like the Flex tune mode instantly tunes the KAT, selects an antenna based on the RF. Putting the KPA in Operate mode automatically selects the proper band on the next burst of RF. I use this whether on my local LAN but not in the shack, or hundreds (thousands) of miles away. I’m very pleased with the KPA/KAT functionality for the Flex. tnx Mike / W5JR Alpharetta GA > On Feb 26, 2020, at 18:02, w6mob wrote: > > I am trying to run my Flex6600/ KPA500/KAT500 remotely. > > Does anyone know if it is possible to hook up a PC & a Flex to a KAT500 at > the same time? > > I have the KPA500/KAT500/Flex working together.
