been looking at the remotehams setup for accessing my station when im traveling for work. the monthly fee seems reasonable but wondering if anyone here has actually used it long term. how's the latency for things like ft8 and js8? i travel alot for my day job and hate missing good propagation when im stuck in hotel rooms. right now i just run a raspberry pi with wsjtx but obviously cant access my beam and amplifier remotely. thinking the sdr approach might be better but dont want to pay monthly if its not really usable for weak signal work.

I've been using remotehams for about 8 months now and its pretty solid for ft8. latency is usually around 200-300ms which is fine for digital modes. tried some cw with it but thats where you really notice the delay. the browser interface works well enough though sometimes it gets laggy if your hotel wifi is garbage. for the price its not bad if you travel alot like you said

so i looked into this too but ended up just setting up my own remote setup with an rsp1a and some custom scripts. took a weekend to figure out but now i dont have any monthly fees and can access everything from my phone if needed. the remotehams thing looked nice but i'm too cheap to pay ongoing fees when i can cobble something together myself. that said if you want something that just works out of the box it might be worth it
