DESCRIPTION
The Remoterig RRC-1258MkII (RRC) is developed especially for remote control of Amateur
radio stations via the Internet in a user-friendly and cost-effective way. The RRC units are
used in pairs, one is connected to the radio (Radio-RRC) and the other is connected to the
control equipment (Control-RRC). The system is unique in the way that no PC is needed for
the voice and data communication it’s handled by the two RRC. There are two versions
available RRC1258MkII and RRC1258MkIIs, the difference is that the (s) versions handles two
audio channels from the radio which is useful together with dual receiver equipment. The
Remoterig system can be configured to work together with most Amateur radio stations
available on the market from ICOM, Kenwood, Yaesu, Elecraft, Alinco and Tentec. The
Remoterig system fits very well in the following situations:
You are not allowed to put up antennas at your home.
The noise level is too high to make Amateur radio activity possible.
You want to build so big antennas that can’t be done in urban areas.
You do not want to be dependent of PC:s for the remote control.
Etc.
The Remoterig system itself will not introduce any latency and the latencies introduced by
Internet and buffering will rarely be any noticeable problem. The Remoterig system also
includes a unique solution for operating CW over Internet and it also includes a CW-keyer.
The Remoterig system is connected to the Internet primarily via 10 or 100 Mbit Ethernet and
fixed connections like DSL, cable and WLAN. 3G based mobile solutions will also work but
sometimes with reduced performance. The system is portable and you can use it from almost
any network connection in the world. Session control, audio (VoIP) and data is transferred
using standardized protocols like SIP, RTP etc. where you can select different audio qualities
depending on available bandwidth. The RRC-1258MkII is easily configured via modern USB
and WEB based user interfaces.
