Barry - I've been playing around with a RemoteRig at K4VV, where Mike W0YR
had set up remote operating using VNC and Mumble/Skype for audio. The
performance of the Internet connection there (which is wireless) is pretty
bad - audio dropouts making CW essentially impossible for any real contest.
Here's some real-world experience from the three of the six remotes we
operated this past weekend from WRTC:
Our Network at WRTC HQ: Either 100/9 Mbps WRTC-only or 20/20 Mbps shared
with the hotel network.
PR1T: ~384 Kbps using multiple technologies

Hi all,
What EXACTLY is the difference between AFSK A, and DATA A.
Here is why I ask:
In AFSK A Mode:
While using MixW, and looking at the MixW screen, and in USB on the K3,
as I tune using the knob, the MixW screen shows the signal stuck to a
frequency on the top calibration marks on MixW.
Gerry - How does one measure jitter?
All - We have the CW issues worked out, using a VNC window and having the
transmitter connected directly to N1mm, rather than trying to send CW iover
the network.
My remaining question is - in the presence of a somewhat flaky Internet
connection, for whatever
In simple terms:
AFSK A is LSB, AFSK TX filter (MENU: AFSK TX) is available and
controlled by PITCH (Mark), audio input uses data selection.
TX and RX EQ are disabled. Receive dual tone (dual peak) filter
is available. Frequency (VFO) display reflects *MARK*
DATA A is USB, AFSK TX filter is

David,
AFSK A is optimized for use with RTTY. It defaults to LSB and the
frequency displayed is the frequency of the Mark tone. The latter
feature does not make too much sense to me when using a waterfall
display, but it makes a lot of sense when using narrow filters and
tuning to a RTTY

Is there something else that might explain the actions of the signal in

I have tried DATA A in REV sideband, (I thought that would fix the
issue), and the signal does not stay pinned to the same frequency under
the MixW calibration marks... As I tune up, MixW moves

George,
If you operate mostly on battery, use the 2ma. option, otherwise I would
use the 6 ma. for its extra brightness - but best is to install it
initially for 2 ma, and then look at it to see if you think it is bright
enough.
I don't think there is room for a switch.

Hi Joe,
I was thinking that as well, but MixW is using USB. As a test I
reversed the sideband by pressing the mode until I saw REV pop up. I
would have expected that to correct the issue if the software were on
the wrong sideband, but it just makes it fail the opposite
direction...

There are only actually 3 wifi channels at 2.4ghz for 20mhz spacing, and

By using any of the other numbers you are overlapping the adjacent channel.

Fortunately, this is one group I DON'T have to explain to about

There are fundamentally (in the US) only 3 frequencies that correspond

channel 14.
Another solution if your hardware and router support it is to move to 5ghz.
Much less chance of interference but wireless range is less.

It's been quite a few years since I used MixW, but here goes:
1. Last time I tried it, MixW did not understand the K3's digital

RemoteRig/RRC uses UDP (Realtime Data Protocol) for Audio, and I'm sure a
lot of other stuff. This is the best mode for most of what we are doing

All that you need to know is that it will do fairly well
