Remote PC Control...
Locked
 
|
Hello Everyone,
A few weeks ago I inquired whether anyone knew of a good -- preferably free or low-cost -- software that ran well, and which seemed to do a good job using the internet for remotely controlling my desktop PC and my K2/100 from my remote laptop. The idea mirrors an article from the April, 2007 issue of QST Magazine. There were a couple of comments offered, but being of the "Dumb Thumbs" school of thought which I am, I wasn't able follow up very successfully. (A persistent "air-gap" in the system -- possibly my firewall -- follows me around everywhere I go.) My idea ultimately is to be able to remotely control my K2/100 via its KI02 accessory port. The K2 is physically connected my desktop PC, and I occasionally run it using Ham Radio Deluxe. My DSL service would be the means of connecting things together. It seems that using Ham Radio Deluxe S/W has the potential to do this, but so far I've been unsuccessful in doing so. If anyone cares to comment I'd appreciate your thoughts, particularly if you've succeeded in getting HRD to do the job I have in mind.. Tnx es 73, Steve Banks K0PQ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

I installed it on my desktop, opened up two ports in the router...and when I logeed into it from my Moms machine, she commented that it looked just like her desktop...only more cluttered because of all the icons I have. < http://www.moogsoftware.com/pc%20remote%20control.html > If you do use it with another program to control your rig, let me know...I'd like to try it. 73, thom k3hrn www.baltimorehon.com/ Home of the Baltimore Lexicon www.tlchost.net/hosting/ Web Hosting as low as 3.49/month _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Steve,
You may want to try UltraVNC along with Skype - google for the sources. The only problem that you might encounter is latency. I understand that native HRD cures the latency problem, but since you are having trouble getting HRD to work .... UltraVNC works fine for me when controlling several computers on my network from one of them., although I am not using it currently for real-time applications. It gives you a screen that is the desktop of the remote computer on your local computer, and you control things with the mouse and keyboard just as though the remote computer were local. 73, Don W3FPR STEPHEN W BANKS wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > A few weeks ago I inquired whether anyone knew of a good -- preferably free or low-cost -- software that ran well, and which seemed to do a good job using the internet for remotely controlling my desktop PC and my K2/100 from my remote laptop. > > The idea mirrors an article from the April, 2007 issue of QST Magazine.

I missed the original post, but if you want to do free remote desktop
sharing, VNC is free and has been around a long time. If you are using XP t both ends, you don't need any additional apps... the capability is built in. There are a number of ways to do remote radio control, and HRD has an excellent one built-in. I use a system that does not require a computer at the remote site. I wrote an article in October 2005 QST about it, which is reprised on my website, but it requires some non-free parts and is not particularly simple to set up. For total simplicity, try VNC or XP Desktop Sharing. For flexibility, try HRD. I'm sure someone on the HRD forums could help you with the setup. At least one of the moderators is an Elecrafter and frequents this list, as well as the developer of HRD, Simon HB9DRV. 73, Larry N8LP www.telepostinc.com STEPHEN W BANKS wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > A few weeks ago I inquired whether anyone knew of a good -- preferably free or low-cost -- software that ran well, and which seemed to do a good job using the internet for remotely controlling my desktop PC and my K2/100 from my remote laptop. > > The idea mirrors an article from the April, 2007 issue of QST Magazine.

You only need XP on the shack machine. There's free RDP software (client)
for any 32bit Windoze on the Microsoft site. You can use W2K in the shack, but it has to be Server, not Pro. RDP is Waaaaaaaaaay faster than VNC, NetOp, PcAnywhere, etc., etc. But, if you don't have the right operating system setup, it's not an option.

If you are going to be running this on your home network, and you are not running XP - Win 2K or below - there is K2Anywhere. It's a 2003 program, but a couple of years ago I had it running with streaming audio. For what I wanted to do with it the network latency was a killer, but for general ragchewing it should work fine - again, as long as you are Win2K or below! http://www.qsl.net/ke6d/k2anywhere.htm is the website. And it's free. 72 73 Hank K8DD -- --- If God intended you to be on single sideband, he would have given you only one nostril. - Steve, K2PTS (SK) --- _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

hi Steve,
I know and have tried a software that can do what you want. look at: http://www.lynovation.com/ you will find hardware and software to accomplish your tasks. The server program runs on your desktop PC, the K2 is connected via the Com-port, Bluetooth needs a hardware dongle if you want this. There is a PC and a Pocket PC program to control the radio. For you with the laptop the PC program will be the right one. Access to remote control is via TCP/IP. If you want additional remotely listen to the radio you can use Skype or similar programs. 73! de Werner OE9FWV On 15 Aug 2007 at 16:54, STEPHEN W BANKS wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > A few weeks ago I inquired whether anyone knew of a good -- preferably > free or low-cost -- software that ran well, and which seemed to do a > good job using the internet for remotely controlling my desktop PC and > my K2/100 from my remote laptop. > > The idea mirrors an article from the April, 2007 issue of QST > Magazine.
