Go to KH7U Remote Menu (http://kh7u.aditl.com/menu ) on your local desktop.
Check the Webswitch status.

If no one is on:
Go back to the KH7U Remote menu
Click on KH7U Webswitch login

This powers on the TS 480 rig and attaches the antenna.

Again, Go back to KH7U Remote Menu (using back arrows).

Click on Sign In (blue box)

This brings up the Radio Control Panel (tuner).
Press Connect Radio (near the middle on the left side. It has a tiny red triangle.
This triangle should turn green (takes awhile), then the frequency should show in the large orange box on the left.

Minimize or Exit this page. This puts you back on the local desk top.

Double click on the VNC (blue square icon).

Double click the dark blue globe on the remote Desktop (This is NOT the globe on the Toolbar, but the one below on the left.)
The two windows of WSJTx should come up.

Check and ensure your callssign is being used. Click on File/Settings/General and check under Station Details.
The TS 480 is left in full power (100 watts), so half way up the slider is about 50 watts.
