Peter,
You¡¯ve hit on a brilliant idea, one that could be expanded still further. Technically, anything that could be handled over an Ethernet cable could probably be handled over the Internet or with a cellular data link. Imagine that you live in the middle of a big city with the accompanying electrical noise and intermod along with no space for an antenna. You could remote your transceiver to somewhere distant where the spectrum is quieter and there¡¯s ample room for a large antennas.
That¡¯s already common is astronomy, where someone in the bright lights of a city can rent nights on a quality telescope at a remote mountain top.
Best of luck in the next QDX sale.

While lying in bed recently, my mind pondered on the QDX and it suddenly struck me that it has no manual controls at all: it is totally controlled by software. This would make it ideal for remote location, for example, in a shed at the bottom of the garden, making antenna arrangements easier and getting somewhat away from the noisy domestic location.
