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

[Grant Youngman]

They’ve already demonstrated wifi K4 control from a pad computer — might have been a WIndows thingy, but I’m pretty sure Elecraft indicated there would be an iOS version.  Everything is just “a few lines of code”, as they say ..  :-) :-)

But a question I have is whether at some point the K4 will have an integrated wireless adapter .. so I can connect it to my existing network (without a cable connection to my router which isn’t in the radio room), and run it from my Mac in the living room.  That would be ideal ...

Unless Elecraft designed their own motherboard, it's likely already available on the board they're using and if they did roll their own, it may be in the chip set chosen for the wired access.  Wayne and team aren't ignorant in this want and have done a good job of looking forward when designing.
