Remote rig decision

[Keith Heimbold]

I decided to purchase from one of our reflector colleagues the Remoterig. I do have a mix of excitement with the thought that even after all these months I gave up too easy.

In the end, I wanted something that a caveman could use. I hope that this caveman can get it rolling in next weekend or so after it arrives.

Keith,

this here caveman got it rolling in a day, for the basic set up, and
about half a day more to get the rotor and such working remotely.

It took a few questions on this and the RemoteRig reflectors, but then I
admit to caveman status... YMMV.

Good luck & let us know how it goes for you.

Additional thoughts:

I do not have digital modes (aside from CW) operational yet; it should
be possible, but it is low priority for me right now.

the forum is here: http://www.remoterig.com/forum/index.php, and there
is the yahoo group (not a lot of activity; most seems to be on the
forum) as well. ([hidden email]).

I should have mentioned that I strongly recommend setting it up on your
internal intranet first so that it is convenient to debug, then setting
up the IP forwarding for your router at the radio location, etc. and
using the internet for the remote.  It helps to separate the issues
nicely, making debug go faster.

Generally speaking, cavemen have always had to operate remote, except
for a fortunate few whose cave was particularly well situated for
antenna installation.
