Remote On Idea/Question

While operating remotely from a few hundred miles away, I managed to cause my 6500 to drop off the network. Locked up tight. I was able to reboot the computer and router remotely, to no effect. Clearly I need to reboot the radio. When I get home! I hope it's nothing too serious. Question about the remote on function - if I have a solid state relay activated by my PC's serial port DTR voltage, would this effectively reboot the radio each time I reboot the PC? I guess the question is would there be enough of a open circuit pulse of the closure across the remote on jack to trigger the reset? If the radio is in a state that drops network connectivity, would the remote trigger be sufficient to reset the rig? For info, I was operating JT65 using WSJT-x. Had some DAX issues earlier; not sure If they were related. I was testing using SSB remotely using DAX and Skype, 73, Geo

    I am setting up a remote system at my house so I can use my F6.7K when away. I have programmed an Arduino, w/Ethernet interface, to display a web page that I access locally via a browser. I am using Remote Desktop to access my computer. The web page has controls to start the F6.7K by using a relay to close the power on contact.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
