There are alternatives like sending serial port data over TCP/IP or even share the USB external audio interface over the network. Teamviewer is available for OSX too, a big plus.
HAM RADIO DELUXE REMOTE CONTROL PRO
My personal favorite is Microsoft’s remote desktop client, but this requires a Windows Pro version on the PC running ARCP-2000. I find it’s performance sufficient for my goal, I wouldn’t try to watch youtube remotely though. It’s user interface is a bit special but you’ll get used to it. Basically it’s the best free remote desktop software that handles NAT traversal without issues.
Next step is to access the software display from a remote location. Here the detachable display solutions such as Remote-Rig are clearly in favour. Turning the dial in software remains tricky, but the Kenwood software supports using the mouse wheel which isn’t the perfect solution but workable. Alternatively you can use Ham Radio Deluxe but I personally never liked that software. My transceiver display is a software display, meaning I use Kenwoods ARCP-2000 software which runs on the PC that’s connected to the TS-2000. After a power cycle or movement of the physical control, the value from the physical control is used again (the squelch control behaves the same). So I can set the volume on the transceiver to 50% and thereafter set it to zero with a software command while the physical control on the transceiver remains at it’s 50% position. 100% means for example that the volume control actually sends a variable voltage to the processor and the volume is digitally set. Furthermore I don’t like carrying my transceivers display around.Ī TS-2000 is 100% controllable via the serial port (remember the TS-B2000 black-box version). A perfect solution for K3 or FT-857 owners, but not for me. My TS-2000 is connected to a PC already, and it’s display isn’t detachable. Remote-Rig is a smart configured controller with a closed software VoIP system.
There is the no-PC solution using Remote-Rig with a transceiver with detachable display. Operating your radio equipment from a remote location is a hot item nowadays.
