[LOGic] LOGic - Remote control and port sharing

[K0DAN]

Hi Ben...

I intend to use VNC.

For my application, I prefer the ARCP user interface to TRX (virtual display 
nearly identical to radio display, icons for all radio functions, fewer 
features buried in menus, remote power on/off, etc.), 100% of radio 
capability supported by the software. I browsed the TRX site but could not 
find a side-by-side comparison of the feature sets of each application.

Switching ports or shutting one down is kind of klunky, which is why I'm 
searching out a solution using an extra port, shared port, etc.
