And that appears to solve a big part of operating the radio
remotely. Other replies indicate easy/cheap WiFi devices that can be
driven by RJ45, so that solves operating from a minipad like the
ipad, which has no physical connections. I suppose that was what was
demo'd at Hamvention.

Hi Brian,
Its a regular RJ-45 Ethernet jack on the rear of the K4. (I believe
it is gigabit ethernet..) Usually your network router provides the
wifi to connect wirelessly in the house (also including a DCHP iP
address server.)
Embedding wifi in the radio is problematic as it is a rapidly
evolving technology with regular changes in security features, speed
etc that are best handled by router sw and hw upgrades. Its unlikely
wifi will stay constant over the radio's life.
