LogMeIn App Video
LogMeIn Software allows a remote laptop (a PC or Mac), smart phone, or iPad to access data and run programs on another computer. An Amateur radio operator can use logmein to visualize and command CAT-contol software (HRD, DM-780, etc.) in the remote computer as if physically present.

Software must be installed in BOTH  the host (station) and remote device.

At home, logMeIn works best through a LAN Router when both the wireless controlling device (tablet, phone, or other computer) and the station's computer are connected and within range.

When away from home, operation is reliable when both station computer and remote device are using a high speed internet connection.

Basic LogMeIn is FREE - but paid versions - 'Ignition App' for smart phones & iPad, and 'Pro' for laptops - enable host (station) computer sound.


  • I have had good results using LogMeIn ** with Digital modes including PSK, SSTV, JT-65, and ISS 2 meter digital packet.
  • LogMeIn (FREE) does NOT support audio, but this does not pose a problem for digital modes.
  • It is easy to set up and access with a password.
  • Install LogMeIn on the computer you wish to control, access it by logging in from another.
  • See and Access your Home computer's screen and files from a variety of separate devices.
  • Skype (free) or LogMeIn Pro (fee) can be used to carry Audio sent from computer-to-computer.
