Best I can tell, remoterig only remotes a few radios without a control
computer. Those rigs use a serial interface to a removable front panel
and allow for time delays between commands and responses or rig inquires
about control positions. Everything else it controls through the CAT
interface which requires a computer running software at the operating
position. A couple Tentecs have ethernet interface that controls well,
but also requires a computer at the control position.
As far as I can tell the only way to avoid relying on the shack computer
for remote control is to build a dedicated box with custom programming.

Many of you responded to my earlier inquirey on remoting my Orion 565 via
the internet.
Almost all of the suggestions included using the shack computer and various
combinations of software.
What I'm lookiing for is a way to connect and control the Orion without
relying on the shack computer. Instead, I'll interface the system via the
router.
RemoteRig seems to fill the bill, but it isn't inexpensive! Likewise the
Glentech products.
Has anyone used either? Your opinions?
