Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. My name is Jonathan, my call sign is EA1HET. I'm a happy user of the product. I have a pair of RR units working with a FT-857D, but due to the fact my shack is built I'm using them on a slightly different way than other colleagues. I've been digging for the info but I'm a bit lost. Therefore, I'm writing asking for your collaboration.
First, the question: Can I configure RR Radio Unit USB port to carry out CAT to a local computer placed in the shack?
Now, details: My shack is separated approximately 50m from my home. Between shack and home I have a fiber optic line carrying out data communications. At each extent, I have 1 RR unit (radio or control) and 1 KVM IP unit (tx or rx). At home I have a flat screen, mouse, keyboard, the RR Control Unit and the FT-857D frontal. In the shack, I have all the rest, including in "the rest" the only computer in regard to radio use.
Hope my explanation can illustrate, even briefly, the reason why I want to take the CAT signal from the RR Radio Unit to the computer. In case the above explanation is not enough I'm attaching a shack design schema.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards
Jonathan
