[WT-support] Remote operation

[William Liporace]

SUCCESS - Well sort of ;-)
I have radio communications. It was the serial device causing my 
problems all day yesterday!!!  The radio likes USB-> Serial port device 
direct but does not through the RCC. I am going to have to look for a 
single version. I really don't want to carry an 8 port USB-> serial 8 
ports!! ODD as they say!!

The next issue that I didn't think about, for some reason, the Microsoft 
Surface is requiring me to hit Function - F key to send CW. Thought I 
will have to spend some researching that.

I am still not seeing packet spots (Yea I turned on broadcasting) and I 
have to look at setting some of the Yaesu scripts up. So I don't seem to 
be able to tune the radio from the keyboard.
