Only One Ground point for all the circuit. The transverter is switch on or off through a relay excited with the power supply of the ic202.

REMOTE STATION    ......NEW    note (pdf)    listen a DX with ZL (MP3 from PA3CWN)
 
using the nice software project called ghpsdr3-alex with the Softrock - I can control my station through a private network link - Try it with the windows Qt client ! ( receiving only !)
Version 2 of the remote is made with a small economical ODROID card - Download the images of my SDcard from here ( updated for ODROID-X and ODROID-U2) to avoid the difficulty of a little bit complex linux configuration  ! Find also a note to help in building the solution yourself. how_to_build_notes
 
See the map of all the servers online.
 
and other software to test absolutely linux or windows: QUISK see my note to install on an ODROID board with Linaro Ubuntu 
  

QRP ... blu, psk, wspr, and cw sometimes.        =>

A funny digital mode WSPR to test...

with the Argonaut, Elecraft K1,the Rock-Mite,TS120v in mobile, the IC 202, and the home made rigs
   
ANTENNAS :  for the OM who has not a big area...  Vertical dipole, Small transmitting Loop, EH,full size loop ....

have a look on the antennas in use today  Antennas used at home today are made with wires for a restricted space: a vertical 19 m loop for 20m and over, 15m high, and a 17m*2 inverted V with top at 17m for lower bands - Mast is a OD 60/40mm aluminium tube going up to 17m. All feeders are made with 300 ohms twin lead from the matching boxes in the shack.

 

(an answer : have a look on a dream !!!)
