[Elecraft] K3: remote control

[Mike WA8BXN]

Hi Dave, 
 
That remote USB device looks interesting. I'm not sure, however, that it
will work over the Internet. I think its intended for use on a local network
 I looked at the manual and saw nothing about how you would find the device
from a remote computer via the Internet. That is to say what IP address the
device is using. I suppose that might not be a problem if you have a static
IP address for the device (very uncommon). 

On a local network I bet it does some kind of broadcast saying here I am,
and your computer would be looking for that with the software they provide.
But such broadcasts would not be sent over the entire Internet. 

Maybe someone has had some real experience with that device and can shed
some more light on it.
