[Elecraft] W2 and use with computer

[D Joyce]

Hi Jack:  It looks like the features of the Operate Tab in the KPA Utility 
will provide what I need.  Now to get it working thru the RRC-1258 units.

Can I suggest that the KPA500 Owner's Manual be updated to point to the 
Remote Control capability using the KPA Utility.  I completely missed it 
until you gave me the pointer.  Thanks.

73,  Doug  VE3MV
