[Elecraft] KPA500 - KAT500 - KPA1500 Remote autostart script -- Kstart-RemoteHost

[Warren Merkel]

If your station includes a KPA1500, or KPA500 / KAT500 pair and you use 
them remotely,
you are likely aware of the Remote applications from Elecraft designed 
to control these units via the Internet.

I have cobbled up a command script that facilitates boot-time startup of 
these "Remote" Host applications
from Elecraft.

The script will launch any of the three Remote applications you want, 
and can easily be wired into the
PC Startup sequence to survive PC restarts.  Also, the script supports 
two instances of each type of device
-- for those doing SO2R remotely.

For example, with one click, you can launch both of the applications for 
the KPA500 and KAT500, and have
them start into Remote Host mode.

If you are tired of using TeamViewer to restart these applications, it 
is worth a look.   I have included a
basic set of instruction steps that describe the extra requirements for 
IP addressing, Port Forwarding, and
getting the script to launch at boot-time.

Expert users can skip that stuff and go right to the configuration area 
of the script.

I called it Kstart-RemoteHost.  I have it published on github.

Let me know if it works for you.  If you like it, buy me a beer.
