There are some projects that seem to need a lot of thinking time. Then you need the inclination, enthusiasm, and time to all line up. Then, if nothing else creeps in the way, the thought bubble becomes a reality, or at least it emerges from the corners of the mind and begins to take on a physical form. This is the case with my Remote Station.
Originally, I was thinking of using my IC-7100, but these things evolve, and now I am going to use my IC-7300 (The IC-7300 was the main Home Base, but that was upgraded a few months back and the IC-7100 has been sold. My attempt at rationalization!) A second-hand i5 NUC was purchased over a year ago, and the Icom RS-BA1 Ver.2 Software along with some other software has been loaded and is ready to go.
Here is a progress report in picture. Power supplies (13.8v and 19v) need to be thought through, and installed, along with a fuse board of some sort. I will mount some indicator lights on the front panel, so the status can be easily determined, by the uninitiated!
