Re: operating when travelling

Hey, Paul!

I've been most pleased with setting my rig up on 20m/40m/whatever, and turning on the TeamViewer server on the ham computer.  Once you do that, then you can take your laptop or tablet with you, log in to TeamViewer on your computer, and operate DM780/FlDigi/etc just like you were sitting in front of it!

You can test it sitting right in front of your shack computer as if you were on the other side of the country.

Good luck with it! If you need assistance with this setup, just let me know.

Ok, after arranging most of this year’s travel so that I could complete the 365/366 endorsement this year, the best laid plans have gone astray and now I’m faced with needing to make QSO’s on may 26th and 27th but will be in Boulder, CO at that time.


The possible solutions I see are:
1) find a way to set my current rig for portable operation
2) acquire/borrow a rig that will let me operate portably, said rig being small enough/light enough to travel by air with.
3) arrange with some ham to use his PSK capable rig at the destination for the 2 days I will need QSO’s

Anyone have other ideas not covered by those options?

To my eye the one that sounds appealing is option 2, as it leaves me not only with a solution to the immediate problem but also gear to operate while I am traveling.

Suggestions on gear for portable operation eagerly solicited.
