As a developer very familiar with connecting SDR radios with CW Skimmer, the best hope for a connection with the K4 is to stream the K4 IQ data to a PC running Windows, and have a 3rd party app negotiate that data along with other information such as frequency to CW Skimmer. This depends on access to the K4 API. I'm hoping to be able to develop such an app.

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 < <mailto:donw...@embarqmail.com> 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.
