    No.  You must have physical access to the radio to register it to an account.  Pressing a hardware PTT or taping the paddles will suffice for the registration process.  This is a security measure to prevent your radio from being hijacked.

    You can also use your CW key.

    This is not working for me using SmartSDR on Mac. As you can see in the screenshots above, I click Register, then key up the mic. I get "Waiting on SmartLink Confirmation..." then after a while, the following window appears with Registered set to "No."

    What gives?

    Just to confirm, is the MIC physically plugged into the radio? Or a CW Key?
