[Elecraft] will utility programs run on Apple Ipad os ?

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Bill, USB is possible, if you buy the Apple adapters - you need the lighting to the old style (30 pin) connector and then the SD card reader, which comes with a USB adapter, which both have 30 pin connectors.

It is (or was) then possible to run some apps to control rigs, but I don’t know if a Elecraft compatible protocol is available.

If you do a search on the App Store app found on the iPad, you can look at a program developed by KS7D that apparently interfaces with a PC that in turn accesses the Elecraft gear.  However, it hasn’t been updated in over a year and it isn’t clear to me how compatible it is with iOS13.x.

I use the RR-1216H to manage the KPA500 and a second one to manage my Green Heron controller while operating remotely.  The RR-1216H has a configuration specifically for the KPA500; as far as I know there isn’t a configuration for the KPA-1500. The RR-1216H can be accessed with any web browser platform such as the iPhone, iPad, Android, etc.

I would expect that after the K4 is released, ’someone’ may develop a similar capability for the new Elecraft transceiver and associated equipment.
