  • [pedalradio] Remote Control #remote

    Another spin-off project suggested itself to me after rain put paid to my t= rike building endeavours for the day.

    Why not remote control a home multi-band radio from your ride? The benefit=
    s are less stuff to cart around and the more efficient, higher gain, antenn=
    as that exist at home. A Raspberry Pi based computer might be the best to u=
    se at homer as it would only require starting up. There a many Youtube tuto= rials on the Internet. Only require choice of which one to use.

    You can use your phone to control it. I have a dongle that I use for DMR s=
    o an old tablet, when I get around to resoldering the micro-USB socket, sho= uld do for the ride end.

    How about it? Let me know how you go and I will copy it.

    I downloaded a heap of YouTube remoting videos, viewed them, and decided to=
    install PocketRxTx on my phone. It and the videos looked impressing so, af= ter downloading the User Manual, I then decided to upgrade to the Pro versi=
    on for $5.00 odd. This allowed me to control a couple of Web SDRs without d= oing much more than opening the app and setting a couple of things. I tried=
    a couple in Canada and the app creator's SDR in Hungary(?). Worked a treat=
    . The manual says that there is nothing really different with controlling y= our own transceiver and this is next on the list when I get some time.

    It seems like an easy, painless, and cheap way to go.

    It's amazing what smartphone tech is capable off. I'd be keen to check it o= ut. Building a short wave supereganerative (rx only) circuit, a SDR, a pair=
    of amps, pre-amp, the parts to finish the parabolic antenna have arrived s=
    o that will be completed soon ( need f uhf to f uhf Conn's to finish, jayca=
    r tomorrow) plus other stuff as always. Studying is going well, so hopefull=
    y soon I'll be licensed and on air soon, plus able to build tx/RX circuits = too. Car has a new battery so I'm mobile again. So I'll see you at the club=
    and on rides if you're there. Keep up the good work and research, I apprec= iate hearing about achievements and advancements not only the broader smet = community has to offer but more pertinently what members of our club have a= cheived and tried. Cheers Kevin ta

    Good to hear you are back on the road Andrew.

    There is a myriad of apps, etc., for remote controlling a transceiver. The=
    difficulty appears to be in making a choice for yourself so that when you = put it together, it works. I still have a few things to try. I will try LAN=
    firsty and then WAN.
