[Elecraft] K3 remote over satellite internet?

[Doug Person]

I know I'm coming late to this topic.  But my experience with remote 
operations over satellite is worth mentioning.  I have tried every 
possible variation of operating a remote K3 over a satellite 
connection.   It's not just the latency - it's that you can never 
predict the network and you may get only bits and pieces and then 
nothing for 4 or 5 seconds.  The satellite that services North America 
is pretty much over committed.  They are being used for aircraft 
internet now and as far as I know there are very few areas where 
additional subscribers are even being accepted.

I did try it about 2AM local when the network is barely being used and 
it might just be acceptable at that time.  During the day - not a chance.
