[Elecraft] Elecraft k3S and K3/0 Mini with remote rig

[Fred Jensen]

Don is correct.  I seriously doubt Microbit can help either, but if you 
contact them, be aware that RemoteRig comes from Sweden.  Michael speaks 
excellent English, however as is always true when communicating across 
international borders, technical things in one country may have 
different names in another.

The odds are extremely high [like p=0.99] that when you reset your 
router, DHCP assigned a different IP address to your RRC's, or to your 
wireless adapter if you're using WiFi.  One never knows with Apple 
[being different and obscure seems to be part of their business model], 
but just like your RRC's, most routers have an internal web server you 
can access with any browser.

The IP address for our ATT is 192.168.1.254  I found it just by starting 
at 192.168.1.255 and working down, most seem to be at the upper or lower 
end of the range of the last octet. 192.168.<mumble>.<mumble> is one of 
several IP ranges that are never broadcast [i.e. private to your 
internal network] and are most commonly used in consumer products. You 
can then look at the local device list and get the DHCP-assigned IP for 
your RRC(s).  Go in to them and change the IP settings and it will 
likely work.
