Beginners Guide to Ham Radio Remote Control for FREE 

Very interested in this want to work from my truck while I'm lunch. Just a laptop, headset, and a hotspot. Thanks Cal

Absolutely fantastic video Callum, haven't a clue what you were doing but I loved every minute of it. I do know however that I now want a Shelly.

This video is the work of a genius. Sorry 😔 my I.Q. is too low.

Hi Cal, Great info. Didn't realize that amount of software and hardware needed to operate a remote station and get it all configured. That was a fun time earlier today. Hope propagation will allow it to happen again. You and the family stay safe. 73 WJ3U

Great that all levels of UK hams can run remote by the end of this month !

Inspiring video Cal. Thanks

Great on video, even better in the flesh!

Fantastic Video, some definite inspiration for me to have remote capabilities without a flex!!!

Am planning to put shack in garage this summer. But dreading the coming winter with 50 meter walk through the snow. Thank you.

Boy, that took a lot of researching to source out all needed. Nice job. I'd hire you in an instance....

I can operate FT8 with remote desktop, I could never work out the audio for SSB, but now I know. Fantastic, thanks.

Thanks for the video, this has inspired me to set up a remote bunker in the cellar which will I think be far more acceptable for the family!

If you are interested in a couple of remote/computer control options I have written a scriptable command line programmer for the ic-9700 and an infrared rotator controller compatible with Hamlib (I think there will be an article in a Radcom next month about the rotator control). I found that a lot of the options that I use regularly are not available in remote control software including Icoms own remote software, for example, I can set input and output levels and change the mod input, control external preamp etc - I'm adding to it as I find the need.

I've used pocketRxTx / JAREC with various radios. Access via USB, BT or Network (local LAN or Internet access). As always YMMV. There are a LOT of options out there depending how complex you want to go. 73 Ed.

Cheers Cal great video. Only 2 things to solve now my end: Mac and accessing the remote through Starlink both of which I think I have solutions for.

Deffo a starter for 10 cal. My shack is going to be abt 40 metres of potentially not cheap coax to my antenna(s). If i set my 2 old laptops up beside radio in man cave where it coud be 5m of coax and the other in the front room shack I can save a load of coax dosh. I'm an IT guy used to realvnc skype and teamviewer.. so this is a great video Cal

A radio power on/off relay connected to coax disconnect for lightning protection while away.

Cal I heard u on 14 mhz broken but solid copy on 21 MC and 18 the strongest in Michigan thks for vid

A really interesting and well presented video. However, I really need to install the Sig 9 before I play with more toys. Hahaha.

fantastic video Cal! I have an icom ic706 that I have ft8 working like you said but with an external sound card and cat control. it's not built into the radio. when I give the radio power though, it doesn't turn on up automatically. any thoughts but how to make that work?

Very important to check regulations in the country your station is in and where your amateur radio qualifications are to make sure you are able to operate a remote station with the qualifications you have.

Super signal from Roly at the end there, will have to play back that live stream

"NoMachine" software has audio transport built in. Easy setup -Free!

Hi Callum,, what do you think of using WF-View for control of iCOM 7300? Do you have any other recommendations for PC control of the 7300? this one only has USB for the PC control

Hello, how do you split com ports? N1MM and ARCP using some com port for CAT.

My biggest issue is, I don't want to fully heat my cabin where my main shack is, and it gets down to -40 here in the US north midwest (that's the same F and C). Remote would be nice so I don't have to sit down in that cold cabin to work my main station, but then again, it gets so cold it isn't even good for the equipment itself. Between that and concerns of audio quality loss, I have not started down this path yet. That's the issue with all this remote stuff, as you put out. It isn't just one issue with a quick fix, it is a whole path of many issues and remedies and complications. Suppose I need to stop making excuses and get on it....

Good presentation with all details you can dream of, but camera needs better mount or to be removed from the desk

HI DX COMANDER ITS DON VA3DLO IN CANADE MATE.... i was wanting to ask if you ever made a 10 meter antenna like like the DX Commander Rapide Ham Radio Antenna (40m - 6m) you sell on your site but for just one ham band a 10 meter band thanks.... also do you make antennas for single bands? like one band ham radio antennas?

Hello , im new on you chanel. I was looking at you 160m receive antenna attempt. and started to think. Here in Sweden we have wild animal fence lengst the highway.. And guess who lives next to it. so im thinking. what do i need to use it as a looooooooooong antenna? can i just use the one little box with the ring divider and connect me to the fence? the fence is approx 150cm high stel net and couple of kilometers long going from north to south.. im thinking this should lett me listen to you an Murrica with ease. or is the length really important on receive? // Jony

What do you think about (remote) CW? "Live" SK- or paddle- manipulation is out of question, for obvious latency reason and lack of feedback. Keyboard CW is a thing, although hardcore oldtimers will say it is cheating.

Please can anyone tell me can I remote from holiday to my g90 at home. G90 thanks

PC not a Mac- It's slightly annoying that functional radio related software is harder to find on the Mac. I do have a Windows computer but it's old and crap, and I'm too tight to buy a new one.

Hey a different kind of UK Bunkers on the Air. .....

Great for those who can not stay in their home for what ever health reason, not so great for those who are addicted to the hobby, so much so that they see the need to have it everywhere, those sad individuals need to buy something very special called a LIFE.
