[Elecraft] Remote K2

[John Huffman]

Richard -

Thanks for the info.  I'd like to avoid tcp/ip if I could because of what I 
assume is the latency involved.  I want to operate a remote radio and yet still 
want to have QSK CW.  Does your set-up allow QSK?

I don't have an internet connection faster than dial-up and doubt I could get 
anything better at a remote site.

The latency may be an incorrect assumption on my part and I'd appreciate being 
corrected.

Thanks again,
