Is there any news from Elecraft or a third-party developer concerning KPA1500 client/server software? Some of us, and likely many more ops, need the ability to control the amp from a remote desktop without the need of desktop replication software like TeamViewer and VNC. N4CC and I share his KPA1500 at a remote and while the KPA1500 setup utility gets the job done, it's a poor user experience.
What's needed is a highly graphical client/server application similar to the type designed by Bernd Koch, DF3CB for the Alpha 87A amplifier. That package has client and server components, and the GUI is a high-resolution graphic of the amplifier complete with switches, LEDs, panel graphics, even the logo. Clicking on the GUI is just like finger presses on the actual amp. It would be great to utilize the KPA1500's Ethernet port but even client/server connectivity via USB is fine for now -- just to get something going other than the KPA1500 setup utility. I'm willing to help finance the development to get something moving along now and not some TBD date in the future.
