I'm considering buying a KX2 for remote operation; CW and digital.  The
radio will be set up in VE3.  I am retired and living in Thailand.  I can't
get a Thai license because Canada and Thailand do not have a reciprocal
licensing agreement.

I'm planning on using Win4K3Suite to control the rig and will have the
power supply and remote computer on a UPS.  That said, I'm sure there will
be occasions when I will have to shut down and re-start the KX2, but this
seems to be impossible because the 2-button on/off switching can't be done
remotely.

Is it possible to "hotwire" the KX2 so it's ON all the time?  Then I could
re-start it remotely by putting the 12V supply on a USB controlled relay.
I'll be living 12 time zones away and need this to be very reliable.  The
setup will be in a friend's summer cottage and he's only there a few times
a year.

Many thanks in advance.
