John This solution is interesting to me since I already have the two USB-Serial cables in use with the remote PC. That PC hosts the Elecraft remote software. Only problem is I know next to nothing about Linux. I have a spare PC that I could convert to LINUX but I need to start from scratch!
Thanks for your suggestion and I will consider it . I am going to try and make the Serial server work first and have to take it to the remote site as soon as weather permits! 73 Frank VO1HP On Tue, Feb 18, 2020 at 9:00 PM John Newgas <[email protected]> wrote: > I can’t help with whether the ports are hard coded or not … but I can give > you a neat solution. > > You can use a low cost raspberry Pi with a couple of USB to Serial > adaptors to link to the KPA500 and KAT500 > > The free software ser2net will give you a direct interface from the TCP/IP > to the serial ports. > > Configuration is pretty easy and basically two lines like > 4626:telnet:600:/dev/ttyUSB0:19200 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner > 4627:telnet:600:/dev/ttyUSB1:19200 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner > > You can connect to the TCP/IP side of the Raspberry Pi through WiFi or > Ethernet from your main router, but you would have to open those ports > inside the router. > > I run my KX3 remotely like that without problems ( higher baud rates work > well for me ) > > John G7LTQ > > > > ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
