Jacl,
I have just knocked up a web based KPA Control program.
I need about another 5-7 days to document and to test, and then I can
post how too.
You would need
a) Remote Shack
b) KPA 500 in remote shack
c) Network connection with a public IP Address to remote shack
d) Small PC/Raspberry/Laptop etc
e) Python 3 Ecosystem
I already do this for my rotator, so using an iPad standing on the roof I can
control my antenna, which has saved countless trips up and down the stairs.
Same principle for the KPA.
I have the full Elecraft command set for the KPA 500 available as a web page.
If you are interested please drop me a PM… and I will link you to my web-page
which details how this can be accomplished.
Regards
Tim, A45WG
