It will depend to an extent on the codecs (audio compressors) used. But people have decoded the PSK31 from the remote online receivers (e.g. the ones in Holland) and they will be using compressed audio for sure. What the IMD would be like from PSK31 transmitted over a VoIP link is something that needs further investigation. But actually the K3 uniquely has a solution that avoids any such problems, because it has PSK D and FSK D modes that generate PSK31 and RTTY from computer commands (KY command) so you don't need a sound card at all. You can do this with KComm now (and it solves the problem of how you send CW, too.) All it needs (hint, hint) is a command that allows KComm to get the decoded text back from the K3 without disabling all CAT operation. - Julian, G4ILO.

The Glentek website needs some work. It's harder than it should be to figure out what this stuff does and what it costs.

Re: [Elecraft] Ethernet to Serial Converter
Ken, If you already have a home network set up, adding another ethernet device is like 'falling off a log' - just plug and play, and you can access it from anywhere on the network. Setup will through a browser, but once the device is configured, it should look just like any other 'computer' or device on the network. Whether it is usable or not depends on your software application - if it can send through a TCP/IP connection, then it can access the device (and the K3), but if the application only supports serial communication, you are out of luck. If you do not have a home network (assuming you have more than one computer), you might want to try setting up a network between the computers first to get some experience with how that is done - it is not hard, but there is a learning curve for the uninitiated. 73, Don W3FPR Ken Alexander wrote: There seems to be more information on this EBay page where somebody is selling them.

No, it's not an embedded computer. It is a board level Ethernet to Serial module mounted to a purpose built motherboard that provides the power and transceiver interface circuits for amateur use. He does offer another product that includes a VoIP interface that will link the mic and speaker to the Ethernet router in the same box as the Ethernet to Serial interface. That's most of the way there ... though you would still need to use soft- ware like HRD to TRX Manager to control the transceiver and need to be able to reflect the VoIP to a soundcard for digital modes. There are similar Ethernet to USB devices (uBOX series) that will handle either sound or control but not both in the same interface. The problem with USB interfaces is that the standards for data and multimedia do not coexist well on a single device (Ethernet to USB) because of the differences in data rates, packet sizes, etc. and problems packing that data in IP. BTW, microHAM have investigated remoting microKEYER II and MK2R+ using the uBOX but the mixed media issues are not something that can be overcome at this time.

Hmm. It's probably some sort of embedded computer. I don't know why they didn't go the whole hog and use one with a built-in sound card so you could have two-way audio streaming as well. Perhaps next year's model will do that... - Julian, G4ILO.

Re: [Elecraft] Ethernet to Serial Converter
See URL:http://new.remoterig.com/en/index.htm Their solution includes data and audio over Ethernet. They also mention support for CW. I've never tried the product, but it looks intriguing... 73, Lyle KK7P __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] Ethernet to Serial Converter
Lyle, I have tried out a pair of these, and hope to have them in service real soon. A pair of boxes is around $ 400 US, and has bi-directional audio, two (2) sets of rs-232 and built in PTT contact closure. That dedicated PTT is very nice as with most remote base operations you have to keep clicking on the PTT buttons on the remote screen to assert PTT. I prefer a hand or foot switch. I have a K3 that sits about 14 miles away from my house, that is the highest point around, just for a 6 meter ssb remote base. I have a M2 5 element beam up 40 feet, and that hill puts that antenna 350 feet above my head. I use HRD and TRX for remote control. With the RemoteRig box, (each box is the size of a packet TNC), you do not really need a PC at the remote site. I still will, as I decode the digital signals there (FSK411/wsjt etc). Once I have the boxes in place, I will report more on them. But the price/benefit ratio is very good. And they work very well with the K3, which is the important part!

Re: [Elecraft] Ethernet to Serial Converter
Hello Lee, I use Ethernet to Serial converter in home. it works. But still have several problem: 1, DTR RTS always HIGH, so I can't use it control CW/PTT --- maybe I should try another model. 2, You can use LP-bridge to share that com port, if your program all on one computer. --- But I want to put some program on desktop computer, others on my laptop. 3, Ethernet to Serial converter can work on socket mode(TCP or UDP), on this mode it can accept up to 6 client at same time, but we need more ham application program support to use TCP/IP (not the com port). any way, I can use wireless network to control my K3 even I am on bed. :) 73 de ba4rf, Dave 2009/12/11 Lee Buller k...@swbell.net Has anyone played around with an Ethernet to Serial Converter and the K3? I am not sure how it would interface, but there are such devices. Programming might be a challenge, but you could give your K3 and IP address Lee K0WA In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine? Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind. - J.
