[Elecraft] RS-232 over WiFi

[VE3GNO Daniel]

Appologize for SNR with this side wireless protocols, very much away from our primary subject, the problems withn BT devices and IPhones is quite well known and is not caused by interference but by bugs in protocol implementation on both ends, (IPh and 2014 Jeep BT device). If you'll sniff the air with a BT sniffer you can easy see what is the rootcause. Speaking abt Apple and wifi/bt bugs, in the last 2-3 years a huge number of cross-compatibility problems occured in the market, some fixed some never addressed, the latest one (few days ago) is with wifi on new macbook air, try to keep updated both devices with latest fw or use another handset (I assume you'll not willing to change your car, is cheaper to change the handset loool). This is consumer market, is waay different as business model than Elecraft business model, in a year or so any consumer device will be obsolate anyway so nobody cares too much abt bugfixing.

I am concerned about the reliability of BT for RS-232.  My new 2014 Jeep has BT in the entertainment center and it drops data during songs from my iPhone and Pandora apps with the iPhone about 2 feet from the entertainment console.  I'm thinking that these holes in the music audio may be due to a faulty BT module in the Jeep's audio system.

I've never really used BT before now.  Do most of you find the BT connection reliable enough (sans obvious interference) to pass RS-232 accurately from my PC to the K3?
