I am using the "remote via ethernet cable" now - I have moved the
"control head" of the station to a desk in the den and am preparing
to move the hardware from the desk in the shack room into a closet in
that room. This past weekend I ran the entire WPX RTTY contest this
way - I monitored the Quadra display via CCTV so make sure all was
well with it. It was bandswitched by a small DDUTIL-dedicated
computer located with the Flex and Quadra. Only thing I had to do in
the shack was connect antennas and turn power on before the contest.

If anyone has thought about getting a new radio recently, perhaps you
should consider one of the FlexRadio Signature Series of Software
Defined Radios (SDR). In a recent software upgrade, FlexRadio has
added a dedicated RTTY mode to their already excellent line of radios.
The main advantage of SDRs is of course, their panoramic display of
the spectrum, from as little as four kHz to the entire band and more,
and anything in between. Many radios these days have some for of
panoramic display but having a full screen on a second monitor will
spoil you for anything else, I assure you.
Another advantage is the simplicity of interconnects to the computer.
Just one Ethernet cable. No more cables for audio, PTT, FSK, etc.
