When I began this project, I noticed there were a few articles around describing remote operation using SDR, but I found them lacking in enough specifics for me to design my own station. This post begins to describe what turned out to be a journey of many months, designing and developing my remote station using a combination of SDR and traditional IT components. This caused me to seriously evaluate my options for a remote station.

I was delighted and amazed at how the state of the art in amateur radio had progressed. Since I originally held a General ticket back in early 1970’s we’ve seen the rise of the Internet that connects every part of our world together, everyday computers so powerful it’s mind-boggling, digital technologies of every kind imaginable – oh yes, and Software-Defined Radios (SDR).
