WBN: KPAxxx Remote Automatic Reconnect

[Rick Tavan N6XI]

Both KPA500 Remote Client and KAT500 Remote Client have a tendency to lose
connection to their respective servers here at N6XI and have to be
commanded manually to reconnect. This happens every few hours, usually both
at the same time. My other client-server pair (PstRotatorAz) connects
automatically using last-known parameters whenever the client starts and
appears to maintain perpetual connection, although I suspect it may be
dropping and reestablishing that connection transparently. Any chance of
revising KPAxxx Remote to do the same? It sure would be nice!

Thanks & 73,

Rick

I agree it might be useful. Although is rarely happens here - most days it does not happen at all - but once in a while it does happen repeatedly.
When it happens I think it is due to some kind of occasional interference on the 2,4 GHz WiFi.

However, it is very interesting that whenever my KPA- and KAT Remote Clients disconnect, the same thing normally (not always) happens to the HRD Remote Client *but never* to the Winkey Remote Client.
If some Server/Client programs are more robust than others I would rather see the not-so-robust ones be made more robust than solving the problem by  incorporating an automatic reconnect.

Can others confirm my observations - and if so can someone here explain why the WK Server/Client is more robust than KPA/KAT and HRD Server/Client?
