Operating my station remotely. I use three pieces of software.
First is TRX-Manager to control the radio. See my video on TRX-Manager.
Second, remote desktop software. This allows me to control the radio computer from a remote computer. I use Logmein.com free program to manage and setup the connection between the two computers.
Third, Skype to connect the audio. I have RigBlast er Pro to interface the computer to the radio.
I really like the remote desktop, as I can run RTTY and PSK software on the radio computer that has the audio connection to the TS-2000. When operating in these modes, Skype is only providing audio for monitoring functions.
It all works very well and provides my radio connection when I am away from home.
I also have AC power switch so that I turn on the radio PC when needed so that I don’t need to leave it running all the time.
Have fun remotely.

The Relavance of Ham Radio becomes clear in times of natural or man made disasters. Remember 9/11, when those towers went down, so did a lot of comm. networks, so guess who actually quite effectively filled the void first? How will you communicate when the power goes out or cable/Landline fails, an do’nt think it ca’nt happen,, become self-sufficient, be prepared, it could save you an yours life, Take care, N8XMB

Ham radio is a …
Ham radio is a little like being off the grid. We can communicate in many different modes without being connected using paid services. Lots of experimenting. I was making phone calls from my walkie talkie 30 years ago before cell phone were even a dream. It is challenge to build a station and to make it work, then see how far you can work. There isn’t much of a challenge to working someone 6000 miles away with skype, which I also do. The challenge is to get more people interested.

I can’t say as much as I’m a ham but I find your videos soothing as if I were hanging out with a real-time friend.
It would be interesting for me to hear a few words from you about the relevance of hamming in the age of the internet and skype. It is obviously a satisfying hobby and brings out the best in people, but why ham? why now? would be a really interesting thing for me to learn.

Hi Randy,
I have a TS-2000 and would like to set it up for remote operation. I have control with “logmein”.
Not sure how the radio’s input & output is interfaced with the sound card? Is this in the setup of “Skype”? Thanks for any info you can provide. Paul N1RXE

The radio has the soundcard interfaced. Skype is set to use the line in instead of the mic. The line out is connected to the radio’s mic through the soundcard. The skype on the radio pc has its own account. Skype is set to auto answer to contacts which are in its list, which are my other computers. Randy

I’d love to do this to my setup. I have a question. You demo’ed RTTY and PSK. Since your soundcard is hooked up to your rig for that, how does Skype access the soundcard?
