Hello Mike, the short answer is no, but we will have to make a decision
before too long.  I have a 480SAT, but I use it exclusively on six.  I could
get a second one I suppose, but we would prefer to use the equipment that
Stan already has.  He has 4 Kenwood TS990Ses, so perhaps he could dedicate
one of them to remoting.  We shall see.

Subject: Remote Station Option

Hi Alan:

Have you decided on a remote station option? 
I'm thinking the Kenwood TS-480SAT with the remote rig boxes might be the
least expensive option or the remote hams service. 
Apparently there's a smart phone client and now a hardware device called the
ORB Control which sells for 175USD and you can connect a paddle, mic and it
can also do digital via its built in soundcard. 
The thing is though you still need a PC to change freq and band etc. Very
excited about this as I might purchase this and put a remote station back
up. I gotta TS-570DG as a backup rig that could be used.
