Remote HF station


My first attempt with remoting was using the Ham Radio Deluxe software and a 24 hours working PC at remote site at SV5KJR ham shack back to 2006. Searching thru the Internet for equipment that can make my remote site working without a PC I found several equipment with high prices and lot of hours of programming e.t.c In a forum of this equipment a guy fro Norway advice me the new (at that time) http://www.remoterig.com
I surprised (almost shocked) seeing that I was looking for and more than I expected... So I decide to buy a pair of a RRC-1258 Version I that cost as a good VHF-UHF base station and it offers to me more ...."ham adrenaline"... hi hi
The project is a standalone pair of interfaces that pass thru Internet the commands to radio and bidirectional audio. If your radio have removable head the "human interface" gets more ...friendly.

After my firsts tests for 6 about six months I leave the project due to non Internet connectivity at my alternative QTH where I was planed to make the remote installation. Two months later I decide to sell the RRC-1258 Version I to a good ham friend.
When the Internet comes to my alternative QTH I decide to make it again this time with the newer version of RemoteRig the RRC-1258MkIIs  with Dual RX capability that is "compatible" with my Kenwood TS-2000. Having the knowledge from the previous attempt was a snap to put it working. 

This time Im on tests specially on lower bands where I have antennas to play at my remote site and trying to improve the audio codecs decision for easy work.

 If you have problems with urban amateur radio installations or you want to have one more setup available to your shack for many reasons then the RemoteRig is for you. 

* My remote installation is made for personal educational reasons.  For more info visit the RemoteRig web page.

  2. If you'd like to indulge in some Hollywood style glamour, 3-D Glitz offers phone cases that are just right for you. If you don't want to
    use the Apple remote there is another option.
    In this day and age it is impossible to stay on top of all the
    latest pieces of technology.
