Remote operation
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2022 6:43 am
Good day to you all,
I have pre ordered the new 8000. I work on a ship 14 days a month and although I have a radio there, the antenna is a 28ft vertical and when passing low bridges it has to stay down.
At home I have a very nice beam and the idea is to use the Anan for remote operation when I am away (as well as using it at home of course). It has ample output, saving me the trouble of running an amp remote too.
So,.... reading this part of the forum doesn't make me particulary happy. It seems a real struggle to get this working and I wonder if any of you has pulled this off at all. With this I mean: Establish a reliable remote connection with the radio via internet.
I plan to connect the radio to a dedicated computer at home. This will be connected to a fibre glass internet connection (400Mb/s).
On the ship we have an unlimited 4G wireless internet connection that is pretty reliable.
My idea was to use remote desktop to operate the computer running at home and so operating the Anan, but reading others, that turns out to be more complicated than that. I am open to other suggestions.
Could anybody tell me if it is at all possible to do what I want and establish a good workable situation, or will it be a bunch of trouble and continuous annoyment?
I know there is no plug and play solution. I don't mind a challenge. Just need to know whether I should go ahaid or cancel the order and look for something else.
With kind regards,
Hubert
