VNC isn't really usable for something as graphically-intensive as a panadapter display. I run CW Skimmer on my remote station, accessed with VNC, and have to keep the window very small to prevent the VNC session from choking, and I have Mbps of bandwidth. I've been toying with the idea of trying

Iain, I sometimes run an SDR-IQ tied to the IF of my remote K3. I am using UltraVnc when I do this (rig control and audio is with the RemoteRig). With a half size window, I am OK with buffering etc, but if myself or my wife loads a largish web page, I get audio stuttering on the

Gosh...so many guys in various markets want access to a remote station! Wonder if I could sell access time? I have a pretty nice station setup in NJ and I'm only QRV during some contests (just the big ones). Otherwise, the rigs/station sits idle. When I was in H.S. (don't ask), we used to pay

Doug, Do you have a dedicated computer connected to your ham installation? Rather than the P3 display for remote operation, I might suggest the LP-Pan solution would be better. The computers can be connected by VNC and the operator at the remote site could have access to the entire computer

Hi, Doug. That's not all that farfetched, but I think the FCC prohibits that sort of thing. 73, Dave AB7E On 1/16/2012 5:41 PM, DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL wrote: Gosh...so many guys in various markets want access to a remote station! Wonder if I could sell access time? I have a pretty nice

Yup. Free programs like LogMeIn would do the trick as well ... assuming use of an LP-Pan for the panadapter. 73, Dave AB7E On 1/16/2012 6:05 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: Doug, Do you have a dedicated computer connected to your ham installation? Rather than the P3 display for remote

I would not be a bit surprised to see that done *if* the FCC doesn't decide your Amateur License is being used for business purposes. Since US Hams are allowed to operate any equipment they choose at any location within the jurisdiction of the FCC, it would seem proper for them to use their own

Hi Ron, Section 97.112 with the no remuneration for use of station provision was eliminated from the regulations some years ago. So I think it is now legal to rent out your station to other operators. However, the communications for hire section 97.113 appears to make it illegal to PAY someone

The ultimate of ham radio... 1. Find the best contest station and rent time on it. 2. Find the best dream team of contesters and feed them beer and pizza. 3. Sit back and rest during contest day. 4. Collect accolades from friends and the world when your top winning
