I experimented remote control my radio. This time, I used TeamViewer
4 which can connect and control remote PCs over internet. Thanks to TeamViewer,
it is free for non-commercial, personal use.
Login dialogue box. You are assigned unique ID and Password each time
you login. The other PC also assigned another unique ID and Password.
When you want to connect to the other PC, enter other PC's ID, select
"Remote support" and press Connect button.
I installed HamRadioDeluxe as a radio control software. It is a very versatile
software and support Yaesu、Kenwood、ICOM、Elecraft、TenTek、FlexRadio radios.
You can select radio, COM port number and speed. If you don't know port
number of speed, there is an option to detect automatically. I can connect
at the speed of 19.2Kbps to ICOM IC-911 but only able to connect at 9600
to Kenwood TS-480. I don't know the reason.
You can select radios to connect.
This shows when connected to TS-480. HamRadioDeluxe is unique, as you
see, there are frequency tuning slide bars instead of dials. You need
Skype or other VOIP software for audio.
This shows IC-911.
This is a ARPC-480, Kenwood supplied TS-480 control software. This resembling
real radio.
