Wow!  I was in my *CAR* at the time operating remote control mobile.  I do that every morning and evening (well, 3 days per week when I'm on site) on my way to/from work.

It's great to be able to have a nice conversation with some of the guys on 75 meters during these times.

I roll off the audio starting at around 100 cycles per second with a 2 pole filter.  Otherwise the very low frequency car noise dominates.

Ok, nobody else asked, so I will.

Remote control mobile from the car? Is there an app for that? What are you using for your link back to the station?

Inquiring minds want to know. I guess that's really the way to go nowadays. Rather than building a massive station in your car, the consumer-land communications infrastructure is there to just link up to the existing home station.

That also speaks volumes about your confidence in your homebrew equipment. I wouldn't dare operate my shack remotely. I've had too many explosions / fires / electrocutions.

Sorry, I didn't see this post until now!  I think it's probably useful to start a new thread in the "QSO" section of the forum to have a good discussion about the subject.

I've had a lot of inquiries about my remote control setup  Wink   It's not trivial, but not that hard either.  A good connection to a 4G or other cellular network is the key to a successful operation.  A poor connection will be problematic.  More later !
