There is a possibility to run a so called IP-Server at tools -> IP server. Just switch it on and connect your K3 via a standard 1:1 serial cable to that PC. When you start HRD again, there is a message comming up where you can choose your transceiver (e.g. K3) and the baudrate which is used for the serial connection between PC and TRX. You have to set up the same baudrate as the K3 is set to in the config:RS232 menue. If the TRX is connected well, the frequency which is shown at the K3 display should also appear on your PC screen after the connection is established. To make sure that the keying works well, you have to setup the K3 in the menue config:PTT-key to DTR or RTS. HRD has to switch to the same setting once when started up. Now you maybe need to configure your internet rout
>  er in the way that the port 7809 is routed to the said PC in both ways. To transfer the audio I would recommend a programm called ipsound instead of skype. It comes with the HRD-package. Just connect your K3 with two 1:1 audio cables to the soundcard of the PC and run the ipconfig programm. You have to make sure again, that the used port for the audio connection (default: 4444) is also routed in both ways to and from the internet. At the remote PC somewhere, just install HRD again and choose remote instead of a baudrate when the menue with the connection dialoque comes up. There you need to choose your TRX type again certainly. It works great!
