Tom,
I am just using the remote software with the "Soft win 1" slot to
get the virtual front panel to the K3. This works fine, the problem is
in the WriteLog
"QSO Entry" panel, "Radio" button, the only choice I get is "Manual
entry". If I go to the "setup-WriteLog Options-Ports" page the com port
selection is not showing the "Soft win1" or "Rem Slot 1", just com
ports. I don't have another K3, etc., just was going to use the virtual
front panel of the "Soft win X" type of connection.
I was just trying to get anything working for the first time, then I
would worry about a "Front panel" for the radio.

Hi Gordon -
I have used the remote quite a bit from my station in Barbados to my house in
California
It is not clear from the description what you are using on the control side. Do you have
another K3, K3/mini, or K3/0? If not, how did you plan to control the remote radio from
the control end? If you do have K3 hardware at the control end, it must be put in
"remote" mode for the frequency stuff to work. Also the radio must be on and
in normal mode when the Writelog Control Site is started up. This latter issue cause me
some heartburn before figured out what was wrong.
The receive audio is generally easy. The trick is getting all the levels right. On TX
audio, remember to set "echo Mic" on the remote end.
It may be necessary to hit "connect Audio" for the rig control to work, even if you don't hit "Start
RX" and or "Start Mic". I don’t know about this.
Also, wired connections are preferred. I had less dropouts remote to Barbados
using wired Ethernet on both ends than I did with a wireless connection in my
home office to a wired connection to the radio in my work area.

Subject: [WriteLog] Writlog Remote setup questions
I'm trying to setup my K3 for remote operation, using WriteLog V12.45D. I had no problem setting
up the remote side, but when I go to the control computer (in-house same subnet for testing) I can
connect using "Rem Slot 1" just fine, but I can not get the frequency control to work.
When I go to Setup-WriteLog Options-Ports all I see are the local serial ports, no "Rem Slot
1".
If I connect using "Soft win 1" I get the virtual front panel and can change
the radio settings and frequency.
I'm setup for RTTY (FSK) and the RttyRite Control Site window comes up, with
decoding and I can send using the F-Keys (F4 does send my call, keying the
radio and sending FSK)
So it looks like all of that works, just no radio connection for the entry
panel. (and no audio yet, but I have not tried to get the audio setup working).
I tried with the firewall totally off on the Remote system, no change.
What else do I need to do?
Thanks!
