Hi Nick I just saw your demo video and found it very interesting. I am wondering what is in the pigtail box, and whether what you are asking for is what interest there is in such a unit. It is quite interesting since it would make remote control of your K3 not depending on a PC or laptop in the shack. So you can definitely count me as one who is keenly interested.
I have used HRD and worked thousands of remote controlled CW QSOs now for over 5 years. I started using HRD in server/client mode. But since I am purely using CW and since the HRD server/client serial connection is very sensitive and keeps dropping out, I soon gave that up and started using HRD via remote desktop. This in combination with using Logmein for remote access has worked well for me for several years - and I still use it. Recently I have tried KS7D Mike's K3iNetwork app. for iPhone with the SServer running on the shack PC. It still has a few bugs (connection may drop while the server still thinks its OK, so you need to reset SServer, also sending macro commands to the K3 means that the K3iNetwork app. needs restart and a few other inconveniencies). But it certainly works fine and I have made a lot of QSOs with iPhone over 3G network to the SServer/K3 (even worked HK0NA that way!) I still do not fully understand how your set up would be. Is it correct, that I need 1) to run hamlog on a portable device (PC or iPhone) and 2) connect via internet to the wireless router in shack. How then is the connection in the shack from the wireless router with the pigtail to the K3? The pigtail box connects directly to the wireless router? Sorry if my questions are silly! Vy 73 and maybe cu on air remote to remote on CW Nick!

Below is a link to a demo of it working with an iPad and a K3. The video should answer a lot of the questions you might have. This is all entirely beta at the moment so it might not look like this in the first release. Demo Video (about 9 minutes): http://goo.gl/N8JK7 Take a look and let me know what you think! If you're interested in having one, please visit the following URL and enter your call sign and email address. There is no obligation and I'm not asking for any type of deposit; I just need to gauge the demand for the initial run. Interest Registration: http://pignology.net/ptainterest I envision a KX3 stashed in a backpack (HF Pack style) being fully controlled by an iOS/Android device while walking down the trail, all the while logging the contacts you're making. 73, Nick N3WG/6 P.S. You might see this email cross-posted on some of the various portable/QRP interest groups out there, please excuse the duplication. ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
