It was never intended to support "bus" configurations. If you want, as
suggested by several corespondents, support for a bus configuration
with master and slave entities that play well together, a more robust
hardware/software solution is called for.
Yup. And let us not forget that somebody has already done this on an amateur
transceiver. The Ten-Tec OMNI-VII comes equipped with a fully functional
implementation of TCP/IP over a built-in Ethernet port. This is where the
transceiver industry should be going. I would hope to see a TCP/IP Ethernet
port on the K3 at some point in the foreseeable future. The capability to
support the port in firmware is certainly there.
