Joe I use one of three different solutions: 1. From a laptop I use two Winkeyers connected over IP via K1EL WKremote Server/Client programs. Keying may be either using a paddle or using the laptop keyboard. Alternatively it is possible to use only one Winkeyer at the remote rig and input by keyboard via Teamviewer. Audio is based on IP-Sound which is excellent for CW ( superior to Skype).
2. From an iPad or iPhone I use an app called K3iNetwork made by Mike KS7D. Keying using the keypad. You can even use voice input to the iPhone/iPad (and key your rig) using SIRI, but this is not yet useful and needs some more work on the app. But it could be developed to be an interesting mode for RC operation from a moving car. Audio based on Skype. 3. From an iPad or iPhone I use an app called K3iDitDah also made by Mike. Keying is done using the touch screen in a way like touch-type paddling. Although this app can be used as it is now it still does need some development work. Audio based on Skype. NB: It is possible to switch between solution 1 and 2 (or 3) on the fly while receiving! 73 de Paul OZ4UN Sent from my iPad On 29 May 2015, at 22:01, Joe Moffatt <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: What remote solution do you use for CW?

It all depends on what you want to achieve. There are many different reasons for hams to want to operate RC. Different requirements probably call for different solutions. If you want to operate your home rig (or for that matter a real remote rig) when you are not at home, eg. when travelling, it might be both expensive and unpractical using the K3/0-Mini and RemoteRig set. Expensive or not depends on your financial situation of course. But you will spend something like 1270 USD and you will have to carry around some boxes and cables etc. But you have the luxury of having a very attractive man/machine interface! Still for the traveller: If you want an inexpensive solution, if you can accept to operate your rig from a computer screen and *if* you anyway carry a laptop ot iPad (or even iPhone) and you already have a PC in your shack (you can do away with a cheap notebook) you can limit your investment to less than 100 USD and still operate your K3+KPA+Kat500 quite satisfactorily. I dare to say so because I have done it for many years (>20k QSOs over 10 years, all CW). You will need to dig into some details about setting up networks and handle computers, so if you dont like to do this, it might not be your solution. I would not say it is free of problems/challenges, but I started from scratch, and am very satisfied with how it works. But if on the other hand you want to set up a stationary operating pos. for a remote station, it is a completely different ball game and I think the K3/0-Mini and RemoteRig set is by far the best solution for that situation. So my advice to you is to first of all find out what kind of use you are looking for and then select a solution. 73 de Paul OZ4UN Sent from my iPad > On 26 May 2015, at 14:40, jlbates4 > <[email protected]><mailto:[email protected]%3e> wrote: > > I'm in the midst of a terrible urge to spend some $$'s and the K3/0'-Mini's > siren call is hard to resist.
