K3/0 to K3 Remote stopped working

Brian F. Wruble-2
Hi all.  I could use some advice.  I have spent the last several months building the complete K-Line for my MD summer QTH.  I am now preparing to operate via RemoteRig from a K3/0 located remotely.  I was hoping for a test run in Sweepstakes this weekend.

Everything was working fine, and starting yesterday, I cannot bring up the remote K3 in MD. I  just get a busy signal at the control end, at my current location in NJ.

In the past, when this has happened, cycling my control end RemoteRig and/or router has fixed it.  Not helping now.

I have the ability to remotely cycle power to the radio end RemoteRig, the K3, and the remote router.  I can use Logmein to the radio end PC to start microbit to examine and restart the radio end RemoteRig. That doesn't solve it, and all parameters look normal.

I can remotely cycle power to the radio end router.  Still no joy.

I have cameras located in front of the radio end (remote) gear in MD.  The green light on the radio-end RemoteRig glows solid green a few seconds after I cycle it, so it is definitely talking to the router.  The router is talking to the internet because I can remotely control all these other functions --- Logmein, power switch, cameras --- from a distance.

Nothing I do brings up the remote K3.  I had the same problem yesterday, and after a couple hours of trying all of the above, it suddenly came back to life --- enabling me to work K9W.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Regards,

Brian W3BW
