[Elecraft] Remote rig versus homebrew challenges

[Richard Thorne]

Keith,

I've done some serious remoting up until recently as we finally move out 
to the country.

My advice, get the remote rig.  It works and will save you lots and lots 
of trouble.

The remote rig is making it so easy.  I started with the remote Kachina 
505dsp back in the late 90's and worked my way through several different 
setups, including using W4MQ's software and home brewing an interface to 
locate my TS-480 control head remotely.

The remote rig makes it so easy, a cave man could do it :-)

I'm seriously considering spending $500 for getting the remoterig. I've been messing around with the programs for months I can't seem to get everything to work right.

Will transitioning to Remote rig take care of this issue or is something wrong with my configuration will not be resolved with Remote rig. At this point I just want something seamless to use that I can plug-and-play. With all the hours I spent on this I'm certainly utilized much time as I would spending for the remote rig.
