[Elecraft] K4 remote software progress

[Magnus Danielson]

Hi Wayne,

I appreciate that update. The latest I heard is maybe 18 months old or 
so, so already this is significant update for me.

Updates will be appreciated as they come. Just seeing progress on the 
items needed to be complete is encouragement and progress, even if it 
does not give a date for beta-testing beyond what I can do with guestimate.

I see great potential with that ethernet connection in the back, and 
being a network guy doing audio and video streaming over packets (and 
others) for a living, I just look forward for it to move take the step. 
Also, it's an awesome radio with so many things in it from start, I just 
love to have the remote handling fully in the box. That and the HD 
option is for sure what I look forward to.

It was also with that background I made the comments I did.

Then, down the line after releasing remote handling, IPv6 support 
eventually needs to happen, as we soon enter into where that starts to 
dominate.

Let the team know that we look forward to test their work, be the test 
dummies and provide feedback from the field. Keep up the good work!
