General Description
The RC-1216H is developed especially for remote control of Amateur radio accessories like
Antennas, Power Amplifiers and rotators via the Internet in a user-friendly and cost-effective
way. Lot of radio accessories are designed to be controlled from a PC via a serial port (RS-
232). Serial ports are not very convenient to transfer over the Internet. The RC-1216H acts
as PC against the connected equipment at the same time as it shows a more user friendly
web based user interface for the operator. The web interface is much more convenient to use
over the Internet as no special software need to be installed in the PC and it can be reach
from any Internet connected PC or other device like smartphones, pads etc. around the world.

antennas, the ACOM-2000A Power Amp, Expert K-FA Power Amp, Elecraft KPA500 Power
Amp, Prositel and AlfaSpid Rotators, Yaesu rotators with GS-232B interface and other Green
Heron controlled rotators.

100 Mbit Ethernet and fixed connections like DSL, cable and WLAN or 3G/4G Mobile systems.
