Anyone who has a K2 and a broadband connection can make it accessible from the internet using the K2Net software on my site. You can allow anyone to connect as a guest or give password access to your friends. I tried this with PA3CW a couple of years ago and it was very interesting seeing how my signal sounded over there, or comparing what beacons he could hear at his QTH with what I was hearing from mine. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
