Keith, I've done some serious remoting up until recently as we finally move out to the country.
My advice, get the remote rig. It works and will save you lots and lots of trouble. The remote rig is making it so easy. I started with the remote Kachina 505dsp back in the late 90's and worked my way through several different setups, including using W4MQ's software and home brewing an interface to locate my TS-480 control head remotely. The remote rig makes it so easy, a cave man could do it :-) Rich - N5ZC On 3/5/2012 10:36 AM, Keith Heimbold wrote: > I'm trying to figure out the best way to do remote and I'm really struggling > with trying to homebrew remote with HRD and other application Skype included. > I'm seriously considering spending $500 for getting the remoterig.
