I've been attempting to remote my station since 2006. I finally have a setup that is reliable.
Since I had two K3's and not enough antennas for my dream station running SO2R, I sold one of the amps and replaced it with the KPA500 and KAT500 combo. I removed all the switching, control, filters, etc. and created TWO independent stations sharing all the antennas. One station is dedicated to remote operation and the other is dedicated to local operation. I found the Green Heron Engineering GH Everywhere system to be ideal to control every switch in the shack, from the rotor to the remote tower mounted coax switches. I did some other cool things to directly connect RS-232 devices to ethernet for improving reliability. I determined the GH engineering relays and software to be so much better than all the other crap I tried to do. That's after nearly six years of trying to get it right. In the end it was about $50.00 more that piecing it together and writing my own control application. So look into the Green Heron everywhere system. It was built by hams for hams. 73, Dick, WN3R Sent from my iPad ______________________________________________________________ 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
