[hpsdr] Remote rig and ANAN transceivers

[Conrad Farlow]

I know that PowerSDR can emulate the TS2000 CAT commands so could I use 
this item with my ANAN-10?

It might be a convenient way of getting good remote tx/rx latency and a 
nice controller/interface box. I don't have a TS2000 so I'm not sure how 
to get translate remote end signals into RS232 CAT commands. If I 
understand correctly the normal TS2000 implementation is to wire the 
radio front panel 4 wire cable and the remote rig RRC-1258 in parallel.

I assume that I can just create virtual com port pairs for PTT? Not sure 
how the TS2000 front panel hardware would handle transverters above 23cm 
but for the moment that is not an issue.
I just want the nice radio interface and by all account superior low 
latency audio of remote rig. I can live with the video latency of team 
viewer for the PowerSDR visuals.

I use a Hercules DJ console in the shack but I am unaware of how I can 
use this with an internet link. I have seen ipMIDI but this appears to 
be for local subnets only. This is unsurprising as most midi 
keyboard/music applications are very timing critical. This is not the 
case for the remote operation of PowerSDR. The only timing critical 
elements are the TX/RX audio, PTT and keyer and from what I have read 
remote rig works very well.

I would be interested in hearing how others are doing this, especially 
those who are using remote rig units.
