If used as a remote, then there is no reason for the display to be on all the time. Given recent problems with displays on other transceivers, it is prudent to be able to switch it off. However, this is something that would need to be under software AND hardware control. If the hardware isn't in there, then it's too late because the K4 is surely in final design and with surface mount boards out for manufacture. Another question is if the K4 can be used with PoE? Namely, can it be switched on by an ethernet connection? (obviously not delivering ALL the power needed, but a 'come alive' signal as provided for in the PoE spec.) > You can turn the brightness down to something quite low.
