A Piglet is overkill for my needs - its needs power and is another box. At the moment my fixed station is in the roof - loft, and connects to a Raspberry Pi 3 running WSJT-X.
I can operate it all via VNC from downstairs in comfort. It also functions much as a Piglet when using Ser2Net to give a virtual serial port accessed just like Piglet. This keeps my home tidy and is friendly towards my XYL. The Bluetooth solution would be small and elegant for ACC1 - and portable for travel. Further research has now shown the IRXON Bluetooth Serial Adaptor BT578 adapter , which is moderately priced. My idea was if the HC05 can interface directly then it would give very low cost wire free solution.
