I have been using Ontech GSM-relay for power control if Internet link fails. I have the main unit after UPS and two slave units. Controlling is done with cell phone. With text message I can boot ADSL modem or PC. Also to pull the big switch is possible. 73, Timo, OH5KW At 21:58 -0700 20/10/1

Hi Dudley No RFI issues in my case. Just concern about the frailty of a remote Internet connection. I'd rather not wait out a timer. I'd like the transmitter to drop immediately if the remote session ends. 73 Sheldon, VE1GPY (in California and my remotely operated Flex-5000 is in Nova Scotia

Guys, If your transmitter is knocking down your Internet link, then you and a bigger problem with RFI.. If you are talking about TX timeout, Steve, K5FR has that solved with DDUtil already. It has a Watchdog timer built in and will drop the transmitter if you lose your ability to get logged

Gary: FWIW, I take the TX relay output from the radio (which also keys the linear) to start a timer which if it stays closed for more than 10 minutes kills all power to the radio (via another relay). Crude but functional. Prevents Old Buzzard transmissions, too. g Gary Strong wrote: I h

Well. I used to have a flakey DSL connection at my remote location and had to find a solution. I also was asked about how to do this from a former FCC enforcement director so glad I had the right answer! ! BTW, I chose to use a Glentek module and eliminate the remote computer at the same time.

Good question Gary. I've been wondering the same thing myself. Here's the scenario... You check into the net, patently wait your turn, press the MOX button, start transmitting and ... The hotel internet connection goes down. It seems like you'd need a watch-dog program to unkey the transmitter

This was problem for me too. Now I have configured my ADSL modem so that remote CW and audio are having high priority, Graphics and web like traffic is low priority. Bandwidth management did the trick. I used to use Timbuktu Pro for remote desktop, but Tight VNC has been performing better. F

Here are some of my tips to reduce the video-induced latency: 1. Make sure averaging is turned on the panadapter. 2. Minimize PSDR when you do not need it on the screen. 3. Reduce the frames per second rate of the display (in the Setup/Display box). 4. You can try increasing the resolution of the t

Mark, Decreasing the number of colors (color depth) can help also. But if you got to have the panadapter, you are going to have to have the bandwidth no matter what you use to transfer it.. Even in raw data..Catch 22.. 73, Dudley WA5QPZ FlexRadio Systems (512) 250-8595, Option 2 E

Bandwidth is ½ of the problem. The other issue running over the Internet is latency and delta latency (latency over time) - for the Panadapter repaints and audio transfer too. Also how efficient is the PC remote control program you are using is a big factor to transfer the ever changing deskto
