[Elecraft] Seeking input on KPA1500 station

[Kevin Stover, AC0H]

All,

I'd be willing to bet nobody in this country or Canada was tested over 
how to setup a LAN or Ethernet communications on their Ham Radio exams, 
and I'd bet there are a few guys on this board who could teach us all a 
thing or two about radio.

RS-232 just isn't that hard and one of the worst LAN fur balls I ever 
had to fix was caused by a couple of jabbering NIC's. I access all of 
our Routers and Switches with a laptop ,USB to RS-232 adapter and 
telnet. It's just not that hard.

The only thing you get when switching from RS-232 to Ethernet is bandwidth.
