Remote Radio Station Control

Operating my station remotely. I use three pieces of software.

First is TRX-Manager to control the radio. See my video on TRX-Manager.

Second, remote desktop software. This allows me to control the radio computer from a remote computer. I use Logmein.com free program to manage and setup the connection between the two computers.

Third, Skype to connect the audio. I have RigBlast er Pro to interface the computer to the radio.

I really like the remote desktop, as I can run RTTY and PSK software on the radio computer that has the audio connection to the TS-2000. When operating in these modes, Skype is only providing audio for monitoring functions.

It all works very well and provides my radio connection when I am away from home.

I also have AC power switch so that I turn on the radio PC when needed so that I don't need to leave it running all the time.

Hello Randy - Great info on how to remote operation. By the way: could you give a recommendation for a good base station VHF rig you you buy yourself for weak signal work? I was thinking about the Kenwood TR-751A or Icom 251. The Ten Tec TT526 gets rave reviews but it's not cheap.. I like older gear but looking for value in used,

@zappatx Another one to look for a is an FT-736. Icom has the new 4100 or something, pricey..

this is just great

@Communications86 Probably. Knowing the PC's address is a challenge, could run static IP address locally. Logmein makes the management of this easy. Nothing to setup.

[Communications86]

you cant just use windows remote desktop the ip address changes.

try HAM RADIO DELUX - they have a software defined radio program free for download that you can link into online radios, or try global tuners (they have online recivers too) or WebSDR (ends with a . org) which just runs in java and has recivers all over the world.
