Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Re: Line in/out link PTT with dual-band rigs?

« on: 2013-05-16, 18:00:38 »

What I'm trying to get to is using the LINE IN/OUT connectors and dual-band radios as the communications link *instead of* the phone line.
Hook a dual-band, full-duplex rig to the LINE IN/OUT will get audio in and out of the RemoteRig and serve as a carrier for the DTMF tones, but
I got stuck at how you would engage PTT on the dual-band "link" radio. The radio to be formally controlled would be an HF rig.

I may be way off in the weeds here as well. I've never seen much less used a RemoteRig, but I'm trying to get an idea of how all this would go together before I invest in 2nd HF rig and the RemoteRig gear.

Thanks,

Hello,
When you use the line in/out with dual-band radios for the link, (I assume full duplex) how do you do PTT on the link radio at the shack end? The aux relay?
I was hoping not, as I'd like to use that to interrupt the HF amplifier control line, unless there's a different way to do that with a IC-7410.

I haven't bought the radio or the RemoteRig yet - I'm trying to figure out how to make it all work. I also have a Flex 5000A, but would just as soon not attempt to remote that one.

Tnx es 73,
