[Elecraft] Can KPA500 Operate Remotely?

[Mike va3mw]

Yes

Many options 

You can use an rs232 cable connected to a rs232/USB adapter on your desk computer. 

You can do IP, but you'll need a computer at the amp end and the operator end and use a LAN in between. 

You can also do serial over ip to your computer at the operator end with a rpi running ser2net or a serial over ip interface box. 

I control mine from a hundred miles away.
