Remote Ham Radio - SO2R Options?

[Byron Peebles]

I am interested in putting together the most effective equivalent of
Single-Operator Two-Radio with my regular Elecraft K3S operating 10-40
meters and a second "radio" operating Remote Ham Radio for 80/160.  I
was wondering if anyoone on this list has accomplished this already and
have specific experience to share.

I assume this would require either a software-only computer-based RHR,
or something like an Elecraft K3/0, plus the SO2R "splitter" to get
in-front of the radios.  But, it seems to get complicated pretty quickly.

Thoughts from those experienced with this?

73, Byron

If you intend this for use in contests, At least several contest rules
require that all antennas and radios be within a limited distance of one
another (often a 500 meter circle).

See http://cqww.com/rules.htm,

VIII. DEFINITIONS OF TERMS, 1.  Station Location.

And http://www.arrl.org/general-rules-for-all-arrl-contests

General rule 3.7, all transmitters and receivers must be within a 500-meter
diameter circle

The only "contest" I know of that allows this is pseudo-contest CWT on
Wednesdays. I'm set up to do it with a local KX3 and a remote K3-K3 hookup
via Microbit RemoteRig controllers and a local YCCC SO2R box. I've tested
it in non-contest environments and it works even better than real SO2R in
one respect - there's absolutely no inter-station interference. I intend to
try it out in a CWT Real Soon Now. But in a real contest, alas, it's
against the rules.

I wish CQ hadn't dropped their experimental category - I think it was in
CQWW - that allowed anything legal under the laws of the land(s).
