[Elecraft] Questions re K3 Remote

[Bayard Coolidge, N1HO]

Ted, KN1CBR, said:

"My station location is at a weekend home in a remote part of Teller County, Colorado, about 100 miles from my weekday home in the city (Denver).  Being able to operate the Teller County station from my home in Denver (where no antennas are allowed, etc.) would be the perfect hamming existence, hence the attraction of the K3 Remote.

"However, the outback location is really outback - Internet is cell telephone link only so far as I know, and the contracts limit the data usage to 5 GB a month with substantial costs for overuse (there is but one carrier there with a cell tower that I can hit.)  "



If it's as rugged a path as I suspect it might be from this initial description, it's kind of a shame that not even a
VHF link (say, on 222 MHz.) would work, even with stacked Yagis and decent amplifiers. To me, that would be
a delicious solution, but it's probably not viable. (I live in Florida, but lived in NH for many years and had relatives
in Denver, and am well aware how rugged the terrain can be out there !).
