With great thanks to all who helped with the alpha/beta testing of the app and to FlexRadio Systems, I'm delighted to announce that the K6TU Control iPad is now available.

Thanks....I will look for one on amazon.
Will you be working the RTTY RU? Going to do it with nothing but the flex and dax. Should be a good test platform. That is, if my present dose of drugs allows it. :) On a bunch of pain stuff for back issues right now. :)

You can get a re-certified one on Newegg for $30. Search for item: N82E16833122461
Stu,
except for not getting the profiles to save any settings, I've save several profiles, for different bands and modes; but, selecting a profile changes nothing. I think the app is pretty nice and is well worth the cost. Once I can get the Profiles to work, it will be very nice for contesting and general control.

PS: I sent you an email regarding this and received no response :^(

Sorry - a little backed up with this thread and if you sent me a direct email its buried somewhere!
I'm not sure what you mean by "selecting a profile changes nothing"...
When you select a profile a stream of commands are sent to the radio for parameters that need to be set. Also the list of filters is updated.
However, the profile deliberately does NOT save any information about slices. This is to avoid conflicts between clients. Equally, at present there is no "default" filter per mode.
So to apply filters, you need to set the mode, then tap and select a filter to get its parameter applied to the selected slice.
I do this for different contests - I have a profile for RTTY, different one for CW and for SSB. This way I can quickly select which filter configurations I want.
Hope this clarifies how profiles work. You can also take a look at the documentation on my web site (link to that from the app coming soon).

Check to see if DDWRT or OpenWRT is available or even Tomato - you may be able to re-purpose it.

This is a WiFi adaptor not an AP. As Richard mentions, you might be able to blow new brains into it but IMO, not worth the time.

Indeed, not when you can get a dedicated for $30.
Just ordered the same on from Amazon for $30 (also refurb) but I get free 2-day shipping there. Will let you know when it arrives if I have any issues setting it up. Looks like it gives me a few extra wired ports too as I am running out on the netgear box. :)
Thanks Stu.
Thanks Stu.

Ah yes, Prime. Best thing I ever subscribed to!
Got the ap up and running, looks great, no problem finding and attaching to the 6700. One small question -- when I swipe the slice panel off to get the ap full screen, how do I get the slice panel back? Not immediately obvious.

Ah, a portrait mode user...
Try this, rotate the device to landscape and back again to portrait. Presto change-o and now a button appears at the top of the screen called Slices.
Press the slices button and the slices list will appear.
This appears to be a feature of iOS and I've been trying to find a solution since I started developing the app!
Sorry about that...
I usually have the iPad propped up in landscape mode using the magic cover as the stand.
I'm still looking for a fix for this one...

Just had the light bulb turn on and came back only to find your answer. Yes, I am a portrait mode user and keep the tablet locked. I thought I had unlocked it but hadn't and voila. Like the ap, Stu, having fun playing with it.

Geep,
The next release has this fixed. I finally realized what was going on and how to fix it. The "fix" had to be done in multiple places to deal with the profiles, filters and setup displays as well as the slice display.
However, they are all now done - it is a feature of iOS - but not a bug! :-)

Here are the specs for the iPad3 from Apple - and yes it does have the Retina display.
IPad 3 Specs on apple.com
Looking at Ebay, it looks like prices for a pure WiFi unit range from $250+ on up to $400.
