Remote Operations

[k6dgw]

Thanks to all who have responded.  I now know:

1.  RemoteRig is Swedish, not German.

2.  In the words of my buddy N6XI, "Just a few too many moving parts."
It is indeed highly configurable, which is good if you know what
configuration you want ... not so much if you don't.

3.  I already have one leg up on this horse, Tom has fully configured
the remote radio end, all I have to do is take care of my control end.

4.  I found a Yahoo Group for the RemoteRig box [thanks Mitch, DJ0QN]
which is probably a better forum for this than the Elecraft reflector
inasmuch this does not involve popping in the headphones. :-)

I will stick with this, I've never met a technology yet that I couldn't
master ... or break, and I'm 75.

In the interest of E'craft list BW, how about we move anything else to
the RemoteRig Forum, where it probably belongs.

73,

PS:  The horse metaphor is appropriate, W7RN is at 6,500' outside of
Virginia City NV and is wild horse territory.  All open range.

Hi Fred and the others,

I was referring to the RemoteRig Forum at their web site:
http://www.remoterig.com/forum/index.php

This is the main place to get information and support specifically for
the RemoteRig hardware. There is also a Yahoo Group, but it is neither
monitored nor supported by Microbit (RemoteRig).

While I am at it, I will mention that if anyone needs assistance with
their network setup, I offer anyone who sends me a short e-mail request
a networking checklist that walks them through the installation process.
It has helped over 300 OM's get their RemoteRig setup working so far.
There is no need to be afraid of the complexity, it is a one-off
installation and the checklist should help you get through it.

Just note that I will be somewhat offline the next three days moving to
Florida for my retirement, but feel free to ask me for checklist at any
time.

73,
Mitch DJ0QN
