[Elecraft] K3 Remote Control...

[ab2tc]

Hi,

Be careful what you ask for; you might get it. When the Ten-tec Omni 7 was
announced with an Ethernet port offering direct Internet access, I thought
it was a wonderful development. But a year later, after following the
activity on their Yahoo group, I am not so sure anymore. Remember, the
engineers at Elecraft and Ten-tec are radio engineers, not Web developers.
It's quite clear that the folks at Ten-tec are expending enormous efforts on
putting things right in the network world and they are still not there.
Somebody - I think it was here - suggested that people with the right
expertise develop a small Linux box that would bridge the serial port to
Ethernet and that may be a more sensible way to go. Right now I doubt if
adding an Ethernet port for the K3 should be the priority task giving the
limited engineering resources available.
