I put the "you may want to delete" statement at the beginning for those not interested in the WL-related topis, but you might be amazed at the number of WL + TS-480S users who could potentially benefit from making the initial post here!  I've already received direct email TNX for posting!

Tnx for your detailed responses, even as discouraging as some were.  Still, some aspects are (IMHO) appropriate to non-remote WL related use that others might appreciate the info.

This one baffles me, however, because I presently send CW from WriteLog via the LPT1 port through my DXD.  Are you saying I would not be able to do this with WL and the MK2R+ ?

Umh, I consider the application more "Visionary" than "far out"!

One final question here that *could* also be of interest to WL SO2R Remote folks, albeit it a much more costly solution... involving TWO MK2R+ units...one at the remote site and one at the home CC&R restricted QTH.  What if an MK2R+ at home could be interfaced to control the remote MK2R+...perhaps via software on a 2nd computer that itself is connected in the Ethernet food chain???

As challenging as this endeavor appears, my take: "Nothing Is Impossible!" :-)

Tnx also for the clarification on WL & the MK2R+ CW ^^^ issue...I've forwarded the information along to the NCCC member who brought this to my attention.

Tnx & 73...
