[Elecraft] RemoteRig K3/0 to K3/100 Issues

[Brian F. Wruble]

Hi all:

I have my remote gear all working extremely well.  I can set up the control
end as close as the same LAN as the radio end, or as far as 110 miles away,
and the results are excellent.  I have a nagging bug, however.

Quite frequently, but not always, after I have shut down the K3/0 (which
shuts down the remote K3/100), when I turn it back on again, it fails to
make the connection.  This can happen a day later or an hour later.

Fortunately, the problem is always solvable from the control end --- it
seems to relate to the control RemoteRig's way of connecting to its LAN ---
I think.  The kinds of things I try that usually result in restored comms
include:

Switching from wifi to hardwired at the control end.

Or ... going the other way.

One thing that almost always works is cycling the radio-end router, which I
can do using a remotely controlled ip power switch.  Bringing the radio end
router down for 30 seconds and restarting almost always works.

Has anyone a suggestion for what might be causing this maddeningly
intermittent problem?

Tnx.  73 de Brian W3BW
