I have a K-3, S/N 1997 that I am very happy with. So here's my questions:
I read that the K-3 can be run as a remote station. Is anyone doing this? Does anyone have any comments on how this works compared to the Kenwood TS 2000, which a friend of mine let's me use remotely, using W4MQ's software, which works well. Any recommendations on other software? I recently took my Sprint mobile hotspot, http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onlinestore/en/Action/DisplaySelPhoneDetail?p honeSKU=SWAC802&ECID=SEM:Google:R:Sprint:Generic In the car (don't worry, I was a passenger) along with my laptop and got on the remote station and was able to work stations nicely. So as you can see, I'm thinking this could be a good way to run radio remote from my car over the internet to my home station. There are many issues I need to resolve; like how to handle the microphone while driving. I did order a Bluetooth headset, a Blue Parrot Road Warrior which gets good reviews from truckers re wind noise. On the W4MQ software you need to click on the transmit icon. Anyone have an idea on how to do that without having to look at the computer screen? I previously had a Don Johnson screwdriver on my old car, which I just turned in on a lease and am reluctant to put the screwdriver on the new car as it was a lot of work, but worked very well using a Yaesu 857D in the car. Please only comment if you have constructive comments/suggestions. I know that some people don't think this is ham radio and I understand that position, but still want to try this. BTW, driving around the L.A. area the mobile hot spot stays connected 99% of the time. 73 Ron AE6RH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
