Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Re: Internet Latency Question

« on: 2015-06-26, 17:32:21 »

Hello Mike. I was able to do the ping test (using pingtest.net) and from my remote location to the City in which I live - Mississauga the latency I noted was approximately 30 ms. The reverse ping test (I had my son ping my cottage location) appears to be 35 ms or so. Do I take it that such latency figures should enable me to be able to operate  remotely in both cw and digital effectively using remoterig?

Thanks again for your assistance and advice.

Thank you Mike. So much to learn! :-)
I am presently at the cottage fort he weekend. I will see if I can ping my home router to see what kind of latency figure I get.

Thanks again.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Internet Latency Question

« on: 2015-06-26, 15:55:38 »

Hello to the group. I recently joined the group and this is my first post.

I am interested in setting up a remote station between my home and my summer cottage. The distance is approximately some 300 kms between the two locations.
I have high speed internet service at home. At my cottage, I have DSL service. I used an internet bases site to determine latency at both locations. At home the latency is approximately 30 ms. At the cottage the latency is just under 200 ms  (average upload speed is approx. .60 MB/s and download speed is approx. 1.3 MB/s). The 200 ms latency seems like quite a long delay and not sure if using remoterig with this latency is feasible. I do not plan to operate voice and my operation is usually CW and digital modes (RTTY/JT-65 and PSK) contesting.

For equipment,  I presently am using a Yaesu FTdx3K at my cottage but plan to purchase and use a TS-480 if there is the possibility that remoterig will work with the internet service at the remote location.

Any views/information and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you to the group in advance.
