[Elecraft] Elecraft / IC-7610 comparison

And that appears to solve a big part of operating the radio 
remotely.  Other replies indicate easy/cheap WiFi devices that can be 
driven by RJ45, so that solves operating from a minipad like the 
ipad, which has no physical connections. I suppose that was what was 
demo'd at Hamvention.

Hi Brian,

Its a regular RJ-45 Ethernet jack on the rear of the K4. (I believe 
it is gigabit ethernet..) Usually your network router provides the 
wifi to connect wirelessly in the house (also including a DCHP iP 
address server.)

Embedding wifi in the radio is problematic as it is a rapidly 
evolving technology with regular changes in security features, speed 
etc that are best handled by router sw  and hw upgrades. Its unlikely 
wifi will stay constant over the radio's life.
