They’ve already demonstrated wifi K4 control from a pad computer — might have been a WIndows thingy, but I’m pretty sure Elecraft indicated there would be an iOS version. Everything is just “a few lines of code”, as they say .. :-) :-)
But a question I have is whether at some point the K4 will have an integrated wireless adapter .. so I can connect it to my existing network (without a cable connection to my router which isn’t in the radio room), and run it from my Mac in the living room. That would be ideal ...
