1 REMOTE OPERATION Jim Stefano W2COP How is this done? Remote Control Operation Remote control. The ability of a control operator (you) to indirectly manipulate the operating adjustments in a station through a control link. Most common types of control links are Wired or Wireless, using RF/Audio (tones or touchtone);or /Digital (computer control); or a combination of both. Public Safety Who uses remotes? Ham Radio Operators 1

2 Why remote operation? Emergency Operations National Hurricane Center relies IRLP and Radio/ modes (Vo/) Mobile/Portable operations Limited size vehicle Mobile antennas -6db gain Poor band conditions Power usually limited No Radio? Still work all bands Still work all modes Types of Remote Operation? EOC Portable Red Cross/Trauma Center Mobile Direct via RF V TX Duplex RX REPEATER 2

5 Satellite Iridium Satellite Reports Peak Traffic Levels in the Gulf (9/11/08) Iridium Satellite officials reported that its communications service has been providing peak levels of reliable, critical lifelines to first responders in the Gulf Coast Region since hurricanes Gustav, Hanna and Ike have appeared. In areas affected by the recent storms, hundreds of subscribers made calls on the Iridium network to test their equipment or to conduct mission-critical operations. When news alerts of the hurricanes started appearing last week, network traffic more than doubled in the region compared with the previous week. The company shipped 5,000 phones to service providers for new subscribers during the past two weeks, with the majority going to partners serving the Gulf Coast. When first responders tell us they have positioned their Iridium equipment and services in the eye of the storm, we know we re doing our job, said Greg Ewert, executive vice president for global distribution channels at Iridium. What are the different modes of Remote Operation? /V/U Operation via Repeater (RF) /V/U Operation via RADIO/ RADIO/ via IRLP RADIO/ via EchoLINK /V/U Radio via Repeater NHRC-10 Controller is Icom CI-V compatible The repeater ( KB2CHM) is interfaced to an NHRC-10 and ICOM IC-706MkII Transceiver Mobile Touch Tone Control 2M RF Link Repeater Antenna Antenna IC-706 REMOTE TX Duplexer REPEATER Portable RX Touch-tone control from any 2 meter radio will activate the IC- 706 in Receive/Transceive, mode and freq. control. 5
