Hi Reto: a couple of points 1. No computer is necessary at the Remote / Radio site where the K3/100 and KPA500 are located. Only need one at the Control / Local site (where most hams would have one anyway).
2. A regular serial cable is used at the Conrol / Local site between the Control RRC Com1 and the related Serial port on the local Computer. However a null modem cable is needed at the Remote / Radio site between the Radio RRC Com1 and the KPA500 RS232(PC) connector. 73, Doug VE3MV ----- Original Message ----- From: "hb9trt" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 2:01 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 and KPA500 > Hi Doug > > Thanks for the alternate solution to control the KPA with a remote > computer. > So if I understand this right, the rig set devices supports transparent > RS232 communication through the internet on the COM1 interface? > This sounds also very interesting for office use, where a computer is on > the > table :-) > > Is a nullmodem cable necessary between the KPA500 RS232 and COM1 on the > rig > set device?
