[Elecraft] Logging software advice

[Nick Garner]

Hi Phil,
The Piglet creates a wireless network out of the box.  It is possible to
reconfigure the Piglet to join a home wireless network or a hotspot network
created by a mobile device.  When using it with iOS it's also possible to
reconfigure the Piglet to create an ad-hoc wireless network allowing for
simultaneous Wi-Fi and 3G/4G connectivity for rig control and callsign
lookups.  This reconfiguration can be done with a null modem adapter or
cable.

73,
