[Elecraft] K3/0 all in one box? + P3/0

[Vic Rosenthal]

My idea was similar -- a box containing a transceiver and wireless link with an antenna on top. All you would need to provide is power (could be solar) and wireless signal (could be 3G).
The box could be placed on the roof of your house, a nearby tall building, or a mountain peak. Think terrestrial satellite.

The idea of using the LP-Pan may be better as one has broadband IQ output which could be sent to a soundcard for digitizing and transmission via the remote link in some manner.  That would provide the wideband digital IQ as data at the control station.  One would run their choice of panadaptor sw to view it.  But this would not be the P3 display.

Then one only needs internet (wifi?) access at the remote site whether that be the cabin or a spare lot somewhere or a friend's backyard.  To be super-mobile remote add a satellite uplink to feed the internet (very common in the bush up here), and ...Think solar power.
