[Elecraft] Remote Operation

[Jim Sharp]

Roger - W7VV,

I have successfully set up my remote operation using K3 to K3 and Remote Rigs RRC 1258 MkII with cables purchased from Elecraft. I have recently also put into operation
a West Mountain Radio Rigrunner 4005i for turning on/off power and individual station components. I think Microbit (that makes the RRC 1258s) also has a “web switch”
which may also be a good option for power control.

Setting it all up with my very complex (for me) Verizon router (which also supplies other functions like TV), would have been impossible with out the very able and terrific support
provided by Brandon at Elecraft. My sincere thanks to him for providing terrific support. His support is the primary reason I’d recommend using the RCC 1258s (which work very well
with the K3s/k3/0) or other rigs as well. I’d recommend anyone to call him should you have difficulties setting up your remote operation.
Finally, having a dynamic name server (I think that’s what its called) (provided by Microbit) is paramount to automatically reconfigure your device access should your routers (public IP adress)
change – which will occur while your away from your rig for any number of reasons - like power failures,etc.

Good luck, Jim – W5AP
