I apologize in advance. I tried about 4 times to make a video but the only device I had available was my phone, and it refused to work correctly and focus.  Maybe if there is enough demand at field day I can get a famous YouTuber to give me a hand.

This is a simple solution to a remote shack. I don't know if it would work with Windows. It will work on Mac and Linux though.

Step 1) Have a digital station already setup. Got it? Good.
Step 2) Plug that station into a network and make sure you have ssh enabled
Step 3) Connect remote laptop to network
Step 4) On laptop issue
~$ pax11publish -r
~$ ssh -X user@host
Step 5) launch fldigi and flrig
Step 6) Enjoy




And who might my first remote shack digital QSO be with?



CO4SM IOTA NA-056

Sorry for the cruddy pics but after 4 video attempts I was a little frustrated.

Love that screensaver.  Used to run it 10 years ago when I though Linux was cool.

Doesn't make me money.  Linux is free (mostly).  So is my MSDN subscription.

I have spent plenty of time writing apps in Java and batch scripts for Linux.  I much prefer C#.  And please don't tell me I can run Visual Studio efficiently over Linux.

On the Windows side same thing except use RDP (fastest), VNC (middle of the road) or something like Teamviewer (slowest) to accomplish the same thing. Or, if you want to run phone, use Remaud.

i do that with HRD and teamviewer all the time. use a pc mike on the radio speaker to catch audio and the pc speaker infront of the mic to tx.

honestly it works pretty well for a ghetto engineered project.

Haha a post about how two simple commands will route your shack to you over a network and we have another OS battle.

At least this way there won't be 87 questions on serial converter drivers

You might take a look at my post in this thread:

Mod's: maybe there should be a sticky thread for remote op's? This is the third relevant thread in a week.

Wow I remember that thread but I guess I stopped reading it before your write up.

You can make it even more responsive if you change the SSH Cipher to arcfour128 or arcfour256. It's a more network efficient.
Add something like the following to your ~/.ssh/config (with the correct hostname/ip substituted)

Host my.remotemachine.com
Ciphers arcfour256, arcfour128

Also, if you use -C in addition to -X when you ssh, then ssh will compress the packet data prior to encrypting and putting it on the wire. This is only good if you're connecting to a machine with enough processor overhead so that the further compression doesn't slow anything down. It's not a good option if you're connection to a pi, for example.

I just learned about this not to long ago. I have not tested it yet.
