At the moment remote control is via the RS232 (COM port) connector, you will eventually be able to control all aspects of the radio. For audio there are various solutions available already. An Ethernet connector / solution has not been suggested so far. Simon Brown, HB9DRV

The Hilberling comes in a very nice sturdy case, the very highest quality 'buttons and knobs and things' you can imagine. I like the case but prefer the layout of the K3's front panel. As for the price - I hear from a dealer that there are quite a lot of orders. Simon Brown, HB9DRV
