[Elecraft] remote viewing of NaP3
I run local and remote every week as I travel from my main station location to my antenna restricted shore home. I don't have a problem swapping out the DB-9 serial port cable, the PTT cable, and the audio out cable when I switch over, it takes about a minute to do so. What I would like to do is split the serial cable from my local PC to the K3 and the RRC-1258. This would allow me to run my NaP3 panadapter s/w along with the RRC-1258, allowing me to view the panadapter at the remote control station with teamviewer. I tried a simple Y cable and it didn't work, anyone have this working? I have a copy of LP_Bridge running, maybe activate yet another virtual comport? I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible as I leave the frozen north for Florida for 7 months after the summer is over here and require a bullet proof setup 73 Jeff kb2m __ 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

Jeff, RS-232 is a point to point protocol only. That means there can be only one driver on an RS-232 signal line. You have 2 drivers on the signalling lines - if one is trying to send data while the other one is in an idle state, the one in the idle state will override the data being sent. That is your problem with the Y cable. You will have to find another way. LP-Bridge can assign an output port on the computer. I have never done it, but I know it is in the instructions. See www.telepostinc.com. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/1/2015 9:21 AM, k...@arrl.net wrote: I run local and remote every week as I travel from my main station location to my antenna restricted shore home.

Re: [Elecraft] remote viewing of NaP3
Don is correct - the free Windows program LP Bridge (or LPB2) is what you want to try. I ran ONE serial-to-USB cable out of my KX3 into LPB2. I then assigned one virtual serial port to NaP3 and another to LOG4OM, a Windows based free logging program. Each application thought it had its own serial connection to the KX3. Worked very well.

Jeff, simplest way is to mirror CAT signals to RRC's COM1 and connect that port to the PC. 73, Olli Contest, DX & radio projects: http://www.dh8bqa.de Am 01.08.2015 um 15:21 schrieb k...@arrl.net: I run local and remote every week as I travel from my main station location to my antenna restricted shore home.
