[Elecraft] P3, Remote Viewing via the Internet

[Rick Bates]

I took the lazy way out.  

I'm using HRD and a spare laptop in the shack, attached to the K3/P3, using
remote login and Skype for audio.  When I know I'm going to be remote (I'm
QRV in San Diego now) I set the web cam to view both the K3 and P3 displays.
I then use Skype video to 'see' the displays and can zoom and pan as needed.
I don't have control access of the monitor (unless I run a macro from the P3
utility) and it requires bandwidth but this simple and clunky lashup
actually works.  If the bandwidth is limited, I remotely login, 'answer' my
call with audio only and keep the HRD bandwidth low.  

So system (and rig/license) security requires that you're on the allowed
list of logins for remote desktop (just me); that you're on my Skype list
(very few) AND have the HRD remote login info (again, just me).  

So far, so good.

Some days, being nerdy and having toys is a good thing.
