Hello Barry,
I am using Remote rig for sometime now.
I have no issue with it at all, both CW and SSB.
Most of the time it is undetectable that I am using remote radio.
I think what you are experiencing is an issue either with your modem or
local service provider.
When I use Remoterig locally, from within VK6, I have no issues at all.
It works "like a charm".
When I tried to use it from overseas, there are issues, but related to the
internet providers in the hotels.
They block most of the ports and there is not much you can do, unless
Remoterig will work out some kind of VPN access like Hamachi does.
I have done number of contests, both CW and SSB, getting reasonable scores,
limited only by my antennas, not by Remoterig equipment.
So I think you need to investigate where the issue is.
I do not believe it is hardware from Remoterig.
I have used it for a while now and I am still amused how well it performed.
It is 5 stars from me.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Remote contest operation
I tried some remote operation in the 10m contest using a TS480 and
Remoterig. The radio control worked fine, but we had lots of problems
with
dropped dits, timing problems, etc. on CW, presumably due to dropped
packets and/or latency issues. I don't know if it's my particular network
or a common problem, but I've heard others using Comcast as an ISP having
similar issues.
I wonder if anyone has had success using some other remote system for CW
contesting.
Tnx,
Barry W2UP
