Up until the recent announcement (out of the hf business), Kachina had/has
the best turn key solution. I was running one for the last couple of years.
Its been dismantled as I'm moving to a qth that allows towers.
I agree with Bill on Kenwood, much more condusive for remote control. Also
check out TRX manager at http://www.trx-manager.com. There is some
discussion on remote stations there using vhf/uhf for audio and TRX for rig
control.
I used isdn modems for complete rig control as well as audio in both
directions. While it worked quite well, I think I would have been happier
with some sort of vhf/uhf link for better audio quality.
PCanywhere worked for me with some control of my Acom amplifier. Another
package is called Remote Administrator. It appeared to work a bit faster (as
far as screen refresh's).
