Remote operation flexibility

[wn3r.us]

I am operating my K-3/100, KPA-500, and KAT500 successfully using a K3/0 at my residence with RemoteRig.

I’ve been asked to setup a station in a Public Library MakerSpace. The problem is the antenna and feed line. To keep the cost low, I am hoping to be able to use a PC Laptop runningTRX-Manager and a Remote Rig black box at the MakeSpace.

My question is a simple one. What changes do I need to make to the Remote configuration and jumpers to be compatible with two types of control methods.

At the moment, the TRX-Manager will not turn on the radio. I get two error messages: RTS and CTS are not available. J3 in the Remote Rig ties them together.

The solution needs to be a single configuration at the radio side to support control by both a PC with Control SW at the MakerSpace and the K3/0 at home.

Any help would be appreciated.

73, Dick, WN3R

Hey Dick,

Why do you need TRX Manager or anything of the sort?

Just bring the K3/0, RemoteRig box and whatever internet connectivity you
need.

If you need to access a desktop for antenna or KPA500, use TeamViewer or
Remote Desktop, and access any automation applications locally in the shack.

I've done many public demos with the RemoteRig gear and K3/0.  I've also
done simple Remotes using TeamViewer and Skype (just a laptop for the demo
location).

Let me know if I can help!

That's how W7RN does it.  In fact, Gerry used W7RN for a recent demo.
Once your RRC-1258 is configured properly, you don't need a computer
unless you need to access station automation at the remote site too.
