[Elecraft] Remote Rig questions

[Jim Rhodes]

The actual setup can mostly if not all done via a browser interface. If you
use a K3 on both ends your computer is accessed via the same software as
you use for direct connection. The two boxes just fool the computer into
thinking it is controlling the radio directly. Actually no computer is
needed for operation in this mode. Speakers and mike plug into the box at
the control point.

As for switching I use mine in reverse. I control my home station when I am
away from home. So I just use a serial relay control box that gives me 8
relays to switch things which I control via remote operation of my shack
PC.. There are ethernet controlled switches available that allow you to
switch AC power or low level circuits via an internet connection, but I
have not really looked into them.
