Running remote

Tilman D Thulesius

Hi there folks.
Im trying to find deep detail technical specifications on the technology used for running a 6x00_series radio.

Specifically Im interested in:
1. How it is set up
2. What protocols are used
3. Typical total bw usage when running spectrum scope and per slice
4. How is the security / login /usage of radio handeled
4.1 How can I set up access for others then myself running my radio? 
5. What technical requirements are there for the WAN-access at radio side / Client side

Great  - Thank you . I have signed up for a SmartLink-account to start with. Would be cool to try out a radio ( I do not have one yet ) to see the performance. 

But from what you write, there are no "public" radios out there.

I don't know why Flex doesn't put up a receive only radio people can try.

Some of us are willing to allow you to try our radios.  Where are you physically located?

Tilman D Thulesius

Thank you so very much. Im based back in Sweden. 
Im considering a 6600. I understand that they are about to get ready for shipment. 

But one very important feature for the is to be able to run the radio remotely also.

Tilman,

I will be glad to let you play with my radio remote.  Please email me at:

ws7m@arrl.net

And we will set it up.

I have a 6600 on a 280 foot loop.  You can op: 40m, 20m, 15m, 10m.   I don't have good tuning on other bands.

Tilman,

I have the Flex 6500 and have been running it over a VPN for the past couple of years.  I've ungraded to SmartSDR 2.0 but don't use the SmartLink service.  I'm still using my VPN configuration.  My station is in Virginia. I've been successful operating it from Central America and Europe.  

I created a presentation for my radio club about remote Amateur Radio in general of which my FlexRadio was a part.  Some of the slides used information from my FlexRadio VPN station.  The SmartSDR program takes very little network data.  I show 80 kbps on the Windows 10 resource monitor.  That's probably the reason why I can run remotely with my iPhone hotspot.  Also, the SmartSDR and DAX programs together only take 3% of my processor with four panadapters and slices working with the DAX.  Not very much at all.  The presentation has 32 slides.  My email is good in QRZ.  Contact me and I'll send you a copy. 

I've enjoyed the radio and especially the remote operation.  Best of luck.

To bad you didn't show off Smart Link,,that is what sets Flex apart from all others.
