Howard:

I’m not aware of a iOS program that manages Elecraft equipment directly.  If 
you do a search on the App Store app found on the iPad, you can look at a 
program developed by KS7D that apparently interfaces with a PC that in turn 
accesses the Elecraft gear.  However, it hasn’t been updated in over a year and 
it isn’t clear to me how compatible it is with iOS13.x.

In the case of the KPA500, an alternative might be to use the Remote Rig 
RR-1216H to attach to the serial port of the KPA500 and then access the 
RR-1216H through a web interface.  I use the RR-1216H to manage the KPA500 and 
a second one to manage my Green Heron controller while operating remotely.  The 
RR-1216H has a configuration specifically for the KPA500; as far as I know 
there isn’t a configuration for the KPA-1500. The RR-1216H can be accessed with 
any web browser platform such as the iPhone, iPad, Android, etc.

At this point the only ’true’ iPad app for controlling a transceiver and 
amplifier remotely is SmartSDR for IOS for the Flex-6000 series and their PGXL 
amplifier.  I would expect that after the K4 is released, ’someone’ may develop 
a similar capability for the new Elecraft transceiver and associated equipment.


Hope this helps,
