THIS PAGE DESCRIBES SEVERAL 'EXTRA' APPLICATIONS THAT ARE FUN TO USE AND CAN IMPROVE STATION EFFICIENCY.*

I RUN THESE APPLICATIONS ON  MY HP COMPAQ CQ-50 NOTEBOOK with TURION DUAL CORE 2.0 GHz PROCESSOR, 3GB RAM, AND VISTA 32 BIT Operating System.

LOGMEIN, SKYPE, and SYNERGY REQUIRE HIGH SPEED INTERNET by DSL, CABLE, OR A SIMILAR ISP SERVICE TO PERFORM PROPERLY (dial up internet is just too slow).

-  ABOUT REMOTE CONTROL OF THE HOME STATION  -
I use 'LogMeIn' to control my home station PC and radio from a remote laptop connected to the internet. I can easily access all of my station programs and files as if    I was actually there.

  • It's Simple to set up and use with a password.
  • Home computer's Firewall and Router settings may need adjustments.
  • Install LogMeIn on the HOME station computer.
  • Log in then control from ANY Remote computer.
  • Basic LogMeIn subscription service is FREE ! !
  • Audio? I use Skype service for Audio**
  • Skype Audio sent from computer-to-computer is also Free !

LogMeIn
The above SSTV QSO was made with LogMeIn and Skype through my Home Station but controlled from      my living room.  I use LogMeIn for PSK, SSTV, and Keyboard CW contacts.** Great when Travelling !!
** Skype enables voice and sound for SSB, CW, etc. To configure Free Skype for ham radio, TWO different accounts are necessary.         Download software and register one account for the 'remote station' computer, Then download and register another account for the        'home station' computer. For 'Remote' Skype to connect, set incoming calls on the 'home station' computer to answer 'automatically'.
LogMeIn PROS :

  • Use when Travelling or around the house - wherever there is fast internet.
  • LogMeIn gives Full Access to all 'host' PC files and software - not just CAT. Useful for digital modes, logging programs, etc.
  • Setup is mostly automatic * (Some Windows and Router Ports need to be configured to allow access to home station computer).
  • Works with XP / Vista / Windows 7 / MAC
LogMeIn CONS :

  • Micro Latency of response time between   the computers can cause QSO difficulties when using certain (voice) modes.
  • A suitable means of turning on/off host computer or radio in event of a transmit lock up may not be availabe. read below **
  • Alternate method to turn on/off rig power, perhaps a DTMF unit, may be needed.
  • Audio must be configured separately, with Skype, other VoIP, or LogMeIn pro. (fee)

SYNERGY SOFTWARE
I use Synergy software all the time. What a conveinience !! Compatible with all OS.

Synergy is an open source free software that allows the user to share one mouse and keyboard with several computers and monitors across a tcp/ip network

The program is simple to use, but pre-configured  directions to the remote internet synergy server and firewall settings must be exact for the program to work. (see below)

Takes the place of a KVM switch and with multiple screens, the Synergy mouse flows seamlessly from one screen to the other.
Synergy is easier to set up with a drawing describing    the orientation of your multiple computer screens.
Install the Synergy software into each computer. The programs ask to use the names of your actual computers. Right-Left or Up-Down relationships of EACH computer's screen to it's neighbor's screen must be entered in the links "configurations".
In this example, Set the "configuration pane" for #2 Host PC Software ("David_PC" using the mouse/keyboard) as follows :
[Check] 'share this computers' keyboad and mouse' Then 
[Click] "configure" button. In "screens pane" [Click] the "+" and Add your computer names. At the bottom, under 'links' add :




  

[Click} the "+" to add each row. To save, Check the "OK" box. Now, Go To "configuration pane" in Computer #1 and [Check] upper box "Use another computer's shared keyboard and mouse (client)". Then type in the Name of your #2 Host Computer. [Check] the upper right corner "X" box to close the screen. FINALLY, DO the SAME For Software in Computer #3 -  [Check] the same boxes and insert #2 Host Computer name.

Start the Program On ALL Computers. Firewall Settings for Each Computer may need adjustment. A Yellow 'zig-zag' icon in Desktop tray            shows you are connected to the server.

-  MAKING CW CONTACTS USING SOUND CARD INTERFACE -
SEND CW BY SOUNDCARD AND KEYBOARD
  • TO USE THE SOUND CARD / SSB MODE "CW TYPE" OR SIMILAR SOFTWARE IS NEEDED. "CW TYPE" IS A FREE APPLICATION, DEVELOPED BY SERGEI PODSTRIGAILO, UA90SV.

  • IT CAN BE USED WITH THE SAME SOUND CARD / INTERFACE SETTINGS ALREADY IN USE FOR OTHER DIGITAL MODES. THERE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE SETTINGS WHEN GOING BACK AND FORTH FROM CW TYPE TO OTHER SOUND CARD MODES. FOLLOW TX ALC OUTPUT FOR PROPER MODULATION.

  • IMPORTANT INITIAL SETTINGS TO MAKE IN "CW TYPE" SOFTWARE INCLUDE 'PITCH' (USUALLY 600-800). SELECT THE INTERFACE SOUNDCARD-TO-RADIO AS 'DEFAULT'.

  • SOUNDCARD CW TRANSMISSION WITH A KEYBOARD IS EASY TO CONFIGURE USING A STANDARD RIG TO SOUNDCARD INTERFACE.

  • TRANSMISSION IS MADE IN USB MODE (20 M AND HIGHER) OR LSB (40 M AND LOWER) WITH TONE RATHER THAN FREQUENCY OFFSET FROM ZERO BEAT. SOUNDS IDENTICAL TO CW.

  • WORKS GREAT FOR REMOTE CONTROL CW.
