Yes that is where i started. With one of those outboard boxes a couple of years ago. I found it easy to condense the whole thing into the K3. The part I'm working in now is the VOIP integration so that with just a single connection, you can be completely remote. Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ

There is plenty of Ethernet-to-RS-232 hardware around if you want to roll your own. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RS232-RS485-to-TCP-IP-Ethernet-Serial-Device-Server-NEW-/301230345289?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item4622ba4c49 $19, connect via TCP, TCP Server, or UDP, UDP server. I find surplux Moxa

FB Bill, Yes, I have a couple of the boards. My career is in telecom/VoIP... software, rather than hardware. What microprocessor you using? Are you using open source software? I'd be interested to know which one. Essentially, you are doing RemoteRig over, in a different form factor. This is

Jack, All valid points but take note of K9HZ's work as a start. Nevertheless, let's say native Ethernet control isn't worth the engineering effort. That should not preclude the integration of RemoteRig as an option into a K3/K3s. If I didn't care about the resale value of my K3 or

What you all fail to realize is that RemoteRig is a Microbit product, not an Elecraft product. It's designed to be used with a number of radios. What I'd like to see is RemoteRig in another form factor, with some type of high-density connector that has all the important signals. For example, why

Radio protocols are bi-directional ASCII connections. They are usually implemented over serial ports, but there is no reason why they wouldn’t work over Telnet or ssh. Outside of amateur radio, I’ve only used a serial connection once in the past 20 years. That was hooking a console to an HP-UX

Paul; What is your proposal for the host-side interface? Pretty much all host programs these days use a serial interface. We usually use this through a USB-Serial adapter or through built-in serial ports, which are rapidly disappearing. To make this viable we would need drivers for all major
