?If you can find a legal document or a exemption from the regulating authority

As I read RIC-3 you must be an Advanced Amateur to transmit using a remote

The Computer has had its Windows and Skype updates.
?Have added some chokes to the setup, however HRD still does not "Stop" the
tuning on 160M.
?Close the tuning window and you should be okay.
?There will be an updated manual out in the near future.
If you are an "Advanced" Amateur you can use the Remote Station.
?See the Remote Station web page on our website ww.ve3kbr.com for details
