hi Steve, I know and have tried a software that can do what you want. look at: http://www.lynovation.com/
you will find hardware and software to accomplish your tasks. The server program runs on your desktop PC, the K2 is connected via the Com-port, Bluetooth needs a hardware dongle if you want this. There is a PC and a Pocket PC program to control the radio. For you with the laptop the PC program will be the right one. Access to remote control is via TCP/IP. If you want additional remotely listen to the radio you can use Skype or similar programs. 73! de Werner OE9FWV On 15 Aug 2007 at 16:54, STEPHEN W BANKS wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > A few weeks ago I inquired whether anyone knew of a good -- preferably > free or low-cost -- software that ran well, and which seemed to do a > good job using the internet for remotely controlling my desktop PC and > my K2/100 from my remote laptop. > > The idea mirrors an article from the April, 2007 issue of QST > Magazine.
