The FXLAN network interface enables the FX775 and FX775MK1 to connect the Wattmeter directly to the Internet. Installation is simple: just plug in the flat cable, and the device is ready for use.
The FX775 MK1 is equipped with the JP2 connector by default. For the FX775, please verify that the PCBA includes the JP2 connector (see the manual for details).
Note: The FXLAN interface is not compatible with the FX773, but it can be mounted externally.
This interface allows the use of all Metropwr software and SDR Apps for Windows and macOS, both via USB and LAN. You can now measure all antenna parameters and monitor power remotely. This greatly expands the range of applications, and when combined with a remotely controlled radio, you can operate in SSB or FT8 from anywhere in the world.
Note: See the picture for an example of a fully remote station setup.
