[Elecraft] Remotely controlling a K2

[David Fleming]

I can get you half way there. 

I've written a fairly full featured K2 control app for
Mac OS X that will control the K2 over a network. I've
been using iChat for the audio. I haven't tried Skype.
I enjoy lying in bed and working CW using my Macbook.
The K2 is downstairs being controlled by an iMac.
Works like a charm.

I haven't tried this, but it's written in REALBasic,
which is cross platform, so I should be able to
compile it for Windows and it should work. I would
probably have to do some tweaking to get the UI to
look right, but it should work. I'm presently knee
deep in getting the K3 Utility for Linux ready to go,
but if you can give me a few weeks, I'll see what I
can come up with. This has been on my to-do list for
some time now. I want to be able to work CW while I'm
at work (PeeCees only). :)
