Re: [Elecraft] new K3/0 Mini
Not true, Jorge! I have used it mobile, at conventions, and many radio club demos. Don't forget about the Android client for RRC (Nano) (they need a new one, but old one works). If you have your station fully automated as far as band switching, the NANO client works perfectly on your phone. I understand what you are asking for -- and it will come! 73, Gerry W1VE / VE1RM On Thu, Mar 7, 2019 at 12:26 PM Jorge Diez - CX6VM wrote: > Hello Gerry > > Elecraft + remoterig works very good. > > I think once´s VY1AAA setup was ready, you left it there for all this > years. > > I am thinking about the case i need to travel every week, 3 days a week, > and i want to take my remote solution with me. > > Something easiest to connect and get ready will be grate for this cases > > 73, > Jorge > > El jue., 7 mar. 2019 a las 13:45, Gerry Hull () escribió: > >> I have four years of experience using the RemoteRig boxes with both the >> K3/0 Full-size box and the K3/0 Mini. >> >> One must remember that the RRC 1258 boxes are not purpose-built for >> Elecraft, though the solution is elegant, and works flawlessly week after >> week once it has >> been configured properly. >> >> Comparing the Flex solution of the Elecraft + RemoteRig solution is >> comparing Apples to Oranges.

Hello Gerry Elecraft + remoterig works very good. I think once´s VY1AAA setup was ready, you left it there for all this years.

Re: [Elecraft] new K3/0 Mini
I have four years of experience using the RemoteRig boxes with both the K3/0 Full-size box and the K3/0 Mini. One must remember that the RRC 1258 boxes are not purpose-built for Elecraft, though the solution is elegant, and works flawlessly week after week once it has been configured properly. Comparing the Flex solution of the Elecraft + RemoteRig solution is comparing Apples to Oranges. I would hold Flex to an even higher standard: It's a one-company solution, designed way after the Elecraft + RemoteRig stuff was on the market. Hopefully, the K4, or what is ever next from Elecraft, will have a detachable front panel --- and the connection between the front panel and radio chassis will be Ethernet! (One can dream). So Flex and Elecraft, I believe, pretty much own the Remote market, which is growing rapidly. I'm sure Eric and team are not sitting on their hands regarding remote. I just passed 25,000 QSOs from VY1AAA, remoting from 4500km away in New Hampshire. The remote end is simple DSL. The technology rocks.

I originally stated that I was already controlling the KAT500 remotely through a serial-to-ethernet interface. (My original post stated, "What I miss is the direct controllability of the KAT500 which requires the KAT500 utility to be controlled remotely. I’ve done this using a Serial-to-Ethernet converter, but I don’t like it because it requires a PC to run it”) By “direct controllability” I mean not using a PC running specific software (KAT500 utility) requiring virtual com ports and instead using a web-based interface such as the RC-1216H for ease of use and compatibility with a multitude of devices to control it. Until such an interface is available, however, I’m forced to stick with the current solution of using a PC, virtual serial port(s), serial-to-ethernet converter, and KAT500 utility software. Much about remote operating boils down to personal preference. There is no ‘right’ answer; rather how one uses their station, lessons learned over time, and new technical offerings will cause evolution of how ‘best’ it can be done on a case-by-case basis. How I manage my station today is totally different that what I did back in 2014. > > Hopefully someone on the list will now know about these devices which are > wonderful to use for remoting. I agree these devices are very helpful; without the Lantronics EDS4100 my setup would be much more “kludgy” to manage the KAT500 remotely. 73, Barry, WD4ASW > > 73, > Mitch DJ0QN / K7DX > > -- > Mitch Wolfson K7DX / DJ0QN > 10285 Boca Cir, Naples, FL 34109 > Skype: mitchwo > USA: Home:+1-239-221-9600 - Mobile:+1-424-288-9171 > Germany: Home:+49 89 32152700 - Mobile/WhatsApp:+49 172 8374436 > > On 28.02.2019 14:52, Barry Baines wrote: >> Mitch: >> >>> On Feb 28, 2019, at 11:27 AM, Mitch Wolfson DJ0QN / K7DX >>> wrote: >>> >>> Barry, >>> >>> I have been using serial to ethernet servers for over 10 years to control >>> rotors, amplifiers and other serial devices.

Re: [Elecraft] new K3/0 Mini
Barry, Understand your standpoint now, but that is the opposite of what you wrote below. You said that you wanted to be able to run the KAT-500 utility remotely, which prompted me to let you know about the serial servers that would be the solution. The Apple part of course makes that somewhat more complicated. Hopefully someone on the list will now know about these devices which are wonderful to use for remoting. 73, Mitch DJ0QN / K7DX -- Mitch Wolfson K7DX / DJ0QN 10285 Boca Cir, Naples, FL 34109 Skype: mitchwo USA: Home:+1-239-221-9600 - Mobile:+1-424-288-9171 Germany: Home:+49 89 32152700 - Mobile/WhatsApp:+49 172 8374436 On 28.02.2019 14:52, Barry Baines wrote: Mitch: On Feb 28, 2019, at 11:27 AM, Mitch Wolfson DJ0QN / K7DX wrote: Barry, I have been using serial to ethernet servers for over 10 years to control rotors, amplifiers and other serial devices. You set these up once and can forget about them. You install a virtual serial port on the control PC for which you can use any kind of client software to control that device, but there is of course no web interface. No local PC on the radio side needs to be running. I use these devices instead of the (expensive) dedicated RC-1216H devices that only provide a web interface. My favorite ones are the Lantronix UDS2100, which I have bought over Ebay. I’m currently using the Lantronics EDS4100 serial-to-ethernet which works well. As you note, one creates a virtual com port on the controlling PC running Windows. This device can manage up to four serial ports at the remote site. Thus, I have the virtual com configuration installed on Win-7Pro machine in the shack as well as on a Win10Pro virtual machine running on my MacBook Pro running Parallels that’s with me. However, that’s the problem… I want to use web-based devices because I have no desire to run a Windows in the shack or where I am. A web-based device such as the RC-1216H is much more convenient, doesn’t require a PC to access and avoids having to specially configure the controlling computer such as is required to manage a Lantronics device that is only compatible with Windows OS. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, etc. to remotely manage my station to turn on/off devices (through West Mountain Radio’s 4005i) or even reboot computers (through Digital Loggers Pro Switch). Note that the WebSwitch 1216H (not the RC-1216H) allows rotor control and also has a serial port server to provide a virtual serial port. This port can however only be used for the rotor, plus the web interface and virtual serial port can not be used at the same time. To further clarify: The RC-1216H can be configured to manage the KPA-500, the SteppIR, ACOM-200A, Expert 1K-FA, and specific rotators. According to the RC-1216H manual, “At the moment it support Prositel rotators with the D-type control box, AlfaSpid rotators, rotators controlled by Green Heron control box and other rotators with serial interfaces with the DCU-1 protocol.” In my case, the RC-1216H is compatible with the Green Heron RT-21 control box. Along with managing the rotor direction, jt can also power on/off the Green Heron controller through a relay box (such as from West Mountain Radio) that allows 12 VDC to power on/off a 120 VAC device. Keep the Green Heron power switch set to ‘on’ and I have remote on/off capability for the Green Heron itself through the RC-1216H. Thus, I have two RC-1216H devices: one to manage the KPA500 and the other to manage my Green Heron/Orion rotor system. The Webswitch 1216H is certainly an alternative for rotor control and people do get confused with the two model designations. When I ordered the RC-1216H from HRO, they sent me the webswitch 1216H in error.

My favorite ones are the Lantronix > UDS2100, which I have bought over Ebay. I’m currently using the Lantronics EDS4100 serial-to-ethernet which works well. As you note, one creates a virtual com port on the controlling PC running Windows. This device can manage up to four serial ports at the remote site. Thus, I have the virtual com configuration installed on Win-7Pro machine in the shack as well as on a Win10Pro virtual machine running on my MacBook Pro running Parallels that’s with me. However, that’s the problem… I want to use web-based devices because I have no desire to run a Windows in the shack or where I am. A web-based device such as the RC-1216H is much more convenient, doesn’t require a PC to access and avoids having to specially configure the controlling computer such as is required to manage a Lantronics device that is only compatible with Windows OS. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, etc. to remotely manage my station to turn on/off devices (through West Mountain Radio’s 4005i) or even reboot computers (through Digital Loggers Pro Switch). > > Note that the WebSwitch 1216H (not the RC-1216H) allows rotor control and > also has a serial port server to provide a virtual serial port.

To further clarify: The RC-1216H can be configured to manage the KPA-500, the SteppIR, ACOM-200A, Expert 1K-FA, and specific rotators. According to the RC-1216H manual, “At the moment it support Prositel rotators with the D-type control box, AlfaSpid rotators, rotators controlled by Green Heron control box and other rotators with serial interfaces with the DCU-1 protocol.” In my case, the RC-1216H is compatible with the Green Heron RT-21 control box. Along with managing the rotor direction, jt can also power on/off the Green Heron controller through a relay box (such as from West Mountain Radio) that allows 12 VDC to power on/off a 120 VAC device. Keep the Green Heron power switch set to ‘on’ and I have remote on/off capability for the Green Heron itself through the RC-1216H. Thus, I have two RC-1216H devices: one to manage the KPA500 and the other to manage my Green Heron/Orion rotor system. The Webswitch 1216H is certainly an alternative for rotor control and people do get confused with the two model designations. When I ordered the RC-1216H from HRO, they sent me the webswitch 1216H in error. I like the RC-1216H because it is a simple RS232 cable connection between the RC-1216H and Green Heron; configure the RC-1216H to manage a rotor, and it basically works out-of-the-box.There are eight predefined aziumth bearings that can be labeled as well as the ability to direct the antenna to a specific bearing.

Re: [Elecraft] new K3/0 Mini
Barry, I have been using serial to ethernet servers for over 10 years to control rotors, amplifiers and other serial devices. You set these up once and can forget about them. You install a virtual serial port on the control PC for which you can use any kind of client software to control that device, but there is of course no web interface. No local PC on the radio side needs to be running. I use these devices instead of the (expensive) dedicated RC-1216H devices that only provide a web interface. My favorite ones are the Lantronix UDS2100, which I have bought over Ebay. Note that the WebSwitch 1216H (not the RC-1216H) allows rotor control and also has a serial port server to provide a virtual serial port. This port can however only be used for the rotor, plus the web interface and virtual serial port can not be used at the same time. 73, Mitch DJ0QN / K7DX -- Mitch Wolfson K7DX / DJ0QN 10285 Boca Cir, Naples, FL 34109 Skype: mitchwo USA: Home:+1-239-221-9600 - Mobile:+1-424-288-9171 Germany: Home:+49 89 32152700 - Mobile/WhatsApp:+49 172 8374436 On 28.02.2019 11:56, Barry Baines via Elecraft wrote: Fred: On Feb 28, 2019, at 8:20 AM, Fred Massey wrote: A K3/0 that could directly connect over the internet with a K3s (K3s+ or K4) is really needed.

I am not dependent upon Elecraft to maintain a system for managing my connections. However, this approach also requires separate means to manage the KPA500 and KAT500. The Remote Rig RC-1216H provides a web interface for the KPA500 and I use a second RC-1216H to control the rotor (Green Heron RT-21 managing an Orion Rotor). Of course, there isn’t a panadapter remote option which would take uplink bandwidth. What I miss is the direct controllability of the KAT500 which requires the KAT500 utility to be controlled remotely. I’ve done this using a Serial-to-Ethernet converter, but I don’t llke it because it requires a PC to run it. I hope at some point that Remote Rig would upgrade the firmware to manage the KAT500 so that I can use any web-capable device (iPad, iPhone, Mac, PC, etc.). Overall, the system works very well and I’ve been using it since September 2014 without problems. I now keep a K3/0-Mini system at two different locations (Texas and New England) both of which cannot support a ham station on site. The Flex System overcomes some of the weaknesses of the K3 approach and of course it has a remote panadapter capabiity. But it has taken Flex over five years to provide the remote capability at significantly higher cost and requires greater upload bandwidth. SmartSDR 2.0 was introduced in 2017 which means for four years I could only operate the Flex-6700 when at the shack. Flex’s approach is dependent upon a server-based system to establish a secure link, a license fee if you’re upgrading from Version 1 to Version 2 or Version 2 to (just announced) Version 3 of SmartSDR. Flex Radio has to maintain a server system to control access remotely. The PGXL amplifier can be controlled directly through Maestro or a PC running SmartSDR v2.xx operating from a remote site. However, the “Tuner Genius” that is promised to go with the PGXL has not been released, so I’m limited to using my EFHW antenna to the KAT500 and the K3 setup since I do need to use a tuner with it. I will say that the bandwidth requirements of the Flex under the current V2.49 SmartSDR is significantly less than in the past so it works more reliably in “Low Bandwidth" mode. I also keep a Maestro in both Texas and New England. Having two different remote systems with different feature sets does provide some advantages: -Redundancy.

Re: [Elecraft] new K3/0 Mini
That is something that I requested some years ago and again this year. To make a box that allows control of the K3(S) using the same port as the KPod plus a connection to Line in/out for audio. Using something like an FPGA, with networking integrated, it appears to be a simple matter to convert the K3(S) into a network device (but WELL above my ability level), which would simplify remote operations without the need for a computer (and capable of using battery power). A matching app (or at least the data exchange) would complete this; tablet ops are pretty nice, BlueTooth to the tablet/phone for managed audio. I've worked around it with a computer, TeamViewer and Skype, but there is no reason it can't be simplified. Using the phone internet, one could put up a remote where needed (EMCOMM or fun). I really think that it would be a very useful addition to the K Line; when they have the time. It would place the K3(S) next to the Flex for simpler remote ops. The app should also consider management of an amp, tuner, rotor or other auxiliary devices; if it gets that far. Rick NHC On 2/28/2019 8:05 AM, Peter Dougherty wrote: I couldn't agree more.

It would be ideal to also include the band scope of the p3 into the solution. Perhaps the integration of the solution could be encapsulated into a new P3. The functionality of remoterig can be in the new P3, and the P3 scope data could be sent digitally over the internet as well.
