[Elecraft] K3: remote control

[David Windisch]

Hi, all concerned:

In the next 6 months, I'll be going from having a competitive station to . .
. <heavysigh> . . . an in-law suite which will likely have HOAs and
restrictive covenants, somewhere in or near Jacksonville FL.

I am interested in remotely controlling a K3 over the 'net, as simply as I
can, ie, avoiding using a computer at the remote site.

Before I throw money at the problem, I'd like some comment on this block
diagram:

Computer/rig-control-software at control point to router-with-USB-port, eg,

http://www.cnet.com/topic-reviews/router/usb-port.html

or computer/rig-control-software  at control point to IP-to-USB-converter,
eg (lonnnng liiiinnnnnk)

http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&sugexp=bvec&xhr=t&q=ip+to+usb+converter&cp=19&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=662&bih=723&wrapid=tljp130987001388200&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=3705660766983091443&sa=X&ei=ygcTTsuwH8mugQfP2OzpBQ&sqi=2&ved=0CFYQ8wIwAA#

to (my present LinkSys) router

to high-speed cable connection (eg RoadRunner)

to a SignaLink IP-to-USB interface to the K3

at the remote site, in the hope of adding at least as much rc functionality
to the K3 as, say, the Ten Tec OMNI VII

http://www.tentec.com/?id=2

provides right out of the Ten Tec shipping box.

Just how many of what unknowns am I overlooking, thanks?

Brgds,
Dave Windisch, N3HE
