The Omni VII is designed from the ground up for remote operation. No Skype is needed for audio. You plug the Omni VII into your router via an Ethernet cable. No computer is needed at the rig end. At the remote end, you obviously need a laptop running "One Plug", Tentecs software for remoting the Omni VII. You can use the keyboard to send CW and the laptop mic./ speaker for voice. They also sell a little device, 610, which provides connections for a CW key, mic. and headset. It's also got a jack for their remote knob which allows you to tune with a knob instead of using the keyboard. Otherwise, it's about like using a Jupiter except it has crystal filters in the IF.
