[Elecraft] KX2 as a remote front panel for another KX2, KX3, or K3S?

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Jim,

The critical timing is handled between the Pi and the radio.  If network 
delays slow the display, that's generally not critical.

You raised digital modes.

I've spent a bunch of time ragchewing back in the day on AX.25.  PSK-31 
is good.  My impression of FT-8 is that it isn't good for ragchewing, so 
I can't get excited about it.

Network delays could be an issue for CW.  I don't know, I haven't made a 
CW contact in at least 4 decades.

It might work for JT9 and JT65, but the speed with which one needs to get things done in FT8 makes me wonder if that is feasible at all. The VNC connections works great, but there IS a small amount of latency involved. And as you know, one doesn’t have much “fiddle time” when it comes to FT8!! That, plus the fact that after having used the JT modes for a few years now, I am getting sort of tired of them - not really much of a mode to actually communicate with the other guy - simply an exchange of signal report and grid square - gets boring after a while. Quite useful for nailing down new DX, grid squares, or states, but falls extremely short for rag chewing! I guess I’m just an old CW guy at heart!
