[Elecraft] Remote Operation with K4

2021-08-04 Thread David Gilbert
Has anyone with a new K4 had the opportunity to do any serious CW long distance remote operating with it, and if so, how effective was it?  By serious, I mean in a contest or in a DX pileup where reaction time is important.  And by long distance, I mean over the internet, not just via your

Good to work you, Paul! Some remote systems accept straight key and faithfully transmit it with "personality" intact; some not. FWIW, I've logged over 1,000 QSOs in the past three weeks as K3Y/2, all on my trusty Junker straight key. Some even understood what I was sending, hahha... 73,

I have watched many of Eric’s videos on YouTube about the K4 and how easy it will be to operate remotely through its Ethernet port. I have a rather naive question, because I’ve not seen much written about this with other rigs. How would you power up and power down the K4 remotely? I can’t
