Control via an HT is a major kludge at best, probably pasted on for
marketing reasons

first You'd have to be in simplex range. I'm exploring the idea of
putting the HF station about 40 miles distant at a friends place in
the Cascades.

second Anyone with a compatible HT could hack your control link and
hijack your station.

third Can you imagine operating in the CQWW contest over an HT
without an interface to your contesting software.

But the PICASTAR that someone mentioned in another thread could fill
the bill if it weren't a roll-ur-own (love to do it, but I don't
have //THAT\\ much time available!)
