Well, I've slipped cautiously into the 21st century...
Bought an Android tablet device last week and did some playing with it
using the BlueTerm app to communicate with my K2 using the little
Bluetooth adapter I concocted a few weeks ago. As expected, I was able to
control the radio with text strings transmitted over the Bluetooth link.
Proof of concept. But inconvenient to actually operate the radio.
After a modestly rigorous search I've not uncovered any Android apps
designed to control the K2 (in the manner of the ones for K3 and KX3).
Piglet comes close, but uses WiFi rather than Bluetooth, so needs a
network environmment.
Anbody know of any I missed, or any in the works?
Alas, my programming skills would be at the level of "Android Programming
for Dummies" :^))
