[Elecraft] Digitized IF over IP?

Skip,

Have you considered a VNC connection to a computer local to the K3/P3?
Of course, that will not show you the P3 screen nor even the SVGA screen 
(unless it is done using a camera), but if the P3 IF OUT is connected to 
an LP-PAN box, the baseband I/Q outputs from LPpan run to a quality 
soundcard can produce a panadapter display on the computer monitor. 
NaP3 will also provide rig control, and Win4K3 will do that as well and 
also allow linking with several other logging applications, CW Skimmer, 
and many others.
I am not certain about latency concerns, and that may be a problem on 
CW, but it may not be a problem on phone.

Tom VA2FSQ (the author of Win4K3) has some other possibilities such as 
his support for video capture of the P3/SVGA screen, so that may give 
you some additional possibilities for solutions.  Take a look at
