Except that an I/Q output would also enable the convenient use of other
3rd party software. If Elecraft didn't bother to include it in the K4,
I think that's a mistake.

As I recall, there is an HDMI output on the back of the K4. You can
choose to have it display the front panel, the panadapter or both on
an external monitor.
You won't need to use I/Q to an LP-PAN.

Looking at the recent (though long from complete) K4 guide, I don't
see an IF OUT per se as I have in the accessory board in my K3 (or in
fact the output I/Q from the KX3 I can run directly into my sound
card on the computer). Does the XVTR IF OUT suffice for this?
The reason I ask is that eventually my LP-PAN is going to die -
hopefully not soon but I have been using it for quite some time now.
I use the IF out from the K3 into the LP-PAN and then into NaP3.
Now I do realize there is a panadapter on the K4 - obviously - but I
DO enjoy (in fact pretty much need) the large computer display for
the pana/spectrum display and DO use the NaP3 software controls for
K3 functions on my keyboard and mouse for tuning and such.
The display on the K4 is not the same thing I don't think. Even with
some keyboard/mouse controls native to the K4 (?) the display size is
a deterent to me as it exists. Apologies to the company. I assume
maybe there MIGHT be a video card OUT re. the K4 panadapter at some
time, but that is a maybe.. and more money.
I won't be nearly the first to get a K4.. down the line probably as I
have a K3S here and a K3 at the in-law's property. If I did get that
'last final rig' and it was a K4 (Iikely as I don't have much in the
shack since 2000 that was not Elecraft) I would, as an older fellow
then.. want the larger visual display of the computer/IF out/NaP3
sort of solution.
So, do I get some IF out I can use?
tnx
