This page describes a project involving repurposing the Weathalert receiver for controlling a radio club's beacon system remotely. The author details the modifications made to the receiver, including changing the crystal frequency and adding a DTMF decode chip and PIC for remote control. The project aims to enable the turning off of beacons to prevent interference, with plans to control each beacon and the Packet Radio digi. The article provides insights into the technical aspects of modifying the receiver and showcases the author's experimentation with different crystals for optimal performance.

Remote control software for an icom 9700 focused on satellite communication and ease of use. It's got lots of features, but some standout features include full duplex doppler control by Gpredict or SatPC32, integration with the RC-28 controller and callsign lookup/logging within the app.

SO2R Focus Control and SO2R FC Server are freeware VB6-based tools enabling remote or local control of modern SO2R controllers (supporting OTRSP and MK2R protocols) outside contest logging sessions. The client (SO2R Focus Control) manages serial-connected controllers and can interface remotely via LAN or internet using the optional SO2R FC Server, which supports up to two concurrent clients. Key features include AUX port control with customizable labels, interlock options, AES-256 encrypted network communication, and compatibility from Windows XP through Windows 11. Designed for operators needing flexible station control—especially for remote antenna switching—both programs install cleanly via NSIS and uninstall completely.
