You can switch an external speaker (or two) between the radio and the RRC. You might need a little amplification, depending on the efficiency of the chosen speaker(s). Powered computer speakers should do nicely. /Rick N6XI Rick Tavan Truckee, CA On Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 12:31 PM, Fred Jensen

Re: [Elecraft] Digitized IF over IP?

Sending spectrum data means you only need to send the new line of data. So every second or so, it sends another 1024 data points. With 16 bit integers, that would be 2 kbytes, but simple arithmetic coding (lossless compression) would reduce that to under a kbyte, or about 8000 bits/s. That is

Relaying FFT spectrum data to another computer is certainly doable. For example, N1MM Logger+ can relay its spectrum display window to other instances of N1MM+ over a LAN or the Internet. If you have a copy of N1MM+ running at the radio site and equipped to display a spectrum window, that copy of

Re: [Elecraft] Digitized IF over IP?

Doing a screen grab is certainly possible a variety of ways. But it would seem to me that doing the FFT of a realistic size and update rate and just streaming the data to the control location would likely be more efficient. Most of the SVGA display is blank at any point in time and a waste of
