Barry, Do a long series of pings (ping address -n 500 will let it run 500 times)
Jitter is the difference between ping times (100ms ping and 120ms ping is 20mS jitter) "My remaining question is - in the presence of a somewhat flaky Internet connection, for whatever reason - latency, jitter, etc. - is there any problem with the K30 control of the K3? For example, when turning the AF gain or tuning knob, will they follow well, or will there be dropouts of radio commands, hinder reliable operation? " Yes, everything will go to hell if internet connection is bad... knobs don't react fast, display does not update fast, etc. However, don't panic. Unless the problem persists, it will go away quickly. Hint: Don't turn knobs like audio or power fast. Each pulse from the knob is sent as a UDP packet... If you turn too fast based on the connection speed, the vlue won't change much. Turn slowly and it will update regularly. I found that with our PR1T connection, screen updates and knob turning would recover, unless the connection went down for a long time, and I get that DANG LOUD SIT tone in the remote. If I get that, I just cycle the power on the front panel of the K3/0 mini, and it ususally comes right back. -Gerry Gerry Hull, W1VE | Hancock, NH USA | +1-603-499-7373 AKA: VE1RM | VY2CDX | VO1CDX | 6Y6C | 8P9RM <http://www.yccc.org> <http://www.yccc.org/> <http://www.facebook.com/gerryhull> <https://plus.google.com/+GerryHull/posts> <http://www.twitter.com/w1ve> On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 10:10 AM, Barry <[email protected]> wrote: > Gerry - How does one measure jitter? > > All - We have the CW issues worked out, using a VNC window and having the > transmitter connected directly to N1mm, rather than trying to send CW iover > the network. > > My remaining question is - in the presence of a somewhat flaky Internet > connection, for whatever reason - latency, jitter, etc. - is there any > problem with the K30 control of the K3?
