> I'm living in a very densely populated  area with a lot

> location due to a lot of taller buildings around. For
> this reason I've decided to install a HF complete station

> roof of a hotel which manager is an old friend. I'm
> living about 2 miles from this point and I don't have

> I intend to remote from my home a HF transceiver, a
> automatic-tune amplifier 500-1KW output, 2 beams
> mounted on same tower/rotator, a vertical and a wire
> antenna.

> My questions are:
> 
> * what amplifiers can be remote controlled by a RS-232 
>   link ( I know only about the AlphaPower 87A model and
>   maybe JRC-2000 ) ? Which software is doing the job ?
>   Is the software able to indicate the forward & reflected
>   output power on same window ?
> * what antenna switch matrix can be remote controlled in
>   same manner ( I know only the AlphaPower ). Is Alpha
>   supplying a common software for the 87A and antenna
>   switch ? Can they be controlled at same time ? 
> * what antenna rotator can be remote controlled ( I know
>   only about Yaesu G-1000SDX and G-2800 ) ? Is Yaesu
>   supplying the needed software ?
> * Is there any software package available today capable to
>   integrate on same data stream all the transceiver features
>   and commands, the TX/RX audio, the amplifier on/off switch
>   and bandswitch, antenna selecting switch and rotator control ?
>   or I have to use 2-3 separate links ? What are the proper
>   modems for this ? The new Kachina Communications 505-DSP
>   PC-controlled transceiver seems to solve a part of the problems
>   and I beleive that their remote control feature combine the TX/RX
>   audio from the SoundBlaster with the rig features commands 
>   stream. Any other aplicable solutions ?
