The K4 has sufficient internal horsepower to run advanced software applications; that's one major reason we included a general-purpose processor. However, all third party applications will require modification to run in the K4 environment, and they'll be vetting by our staff before being made available as an in-box app.
While there's no reason we couldn't run Skimmer, I can't say at this time whether we'd choose to port this application to the K4. But I can say the K4 will be continuously updated to meet user needs. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Dec 29, 2019, at 8:18 AM, Don Wilhelm <donw...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > > Morgan, > > The K4 (any version) will not run software apps like Skimmer, you will need > to run that on your shack computer. > > While the K4 does contain a processor and a version of an operating system, > it is used for dedicated K4 functions. > I would compare it to my fileserver box which runs on a Linux version.
