We considered offering a faster-than-light option for the virtual-K4 software: the EleWarp(tm). But it turned out that, thanks to supply chain issues, we can’t get dilithium crystals until 2023. Until then our CW ops will have to be content with full-impulse. (Did I mention we’re also working

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Remote Software?

Works great, Fred, if you have very low latency to W7RN. Sending winkey over the wire and generating the CW @ the station has always been flawless for me... but that works for you, and that's awesome. There is no one solution: it's always a systems problem. 73, Gerry Hull, *W1VE *Hancock, NH

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Remote Software?

As a proponent of the "Regardless of the MTBF of each part, put enough on the rocket and something will always be broken," I opt for fewer is better, especially if software/firmware is involved.  I key W7RN remotely from my local Winkey on Pin 4 of the I/O connector on the back of the RRC-1258.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Remote Software?

Hi Jim, I've been doing remote ham radio in serious contest stations for about 10 years now... Though is wasn't me, the guys at ZF1A achieved a 433-QSO-per hour CW rate on remote, using a K3 and Microbit RRC boxes. On non-ideal Internet paths, I typically reach 175+ hour rates on CW. This is no

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Remote Software?

Excellent!  Solve the latency issue and we all hit the jackpot! Curious Wayne, do you have a stand alone hardware solution on the opposite end of the remoted K4 station planned? It would be great to have something like the old K3/0 but for the K4 complete w/ Paddle plug in and headphone outputs

FB Wayne!! Can't wait. I hope the latency will be far better than some (I won't mention) other radios. GL to the team. Thanks for all the hard work! Happy Holidays! Gerry Hull, *W1VE *Hancock, NH USA CWOps #191 | YCCC | CanAm Contest Coalition | Maritime Contest Club RadioSport Manitoba | AR

Hi Gerry, The Virtual K4 software ("VK4") is coming along. Now that we have the digital voice recorder up and running, we're turning our attention to streaming audio over ethernet, which is required for VK4. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Dec 22, 2021, at 6:44 AM, Gerry Hull wrote: > > I don't see any

I don't see anything about K4 remote software? Is there none? No virtual front panel? What's the plan? Gerry Hull, *W1VE *Hancock, NH USA CWOps #191 | YCCC | CanAm Contest Coalition | Maritime Contest Club RadioSport Manitoba | ARRL | RAC | QCWA ARCluster dxc.w1ve.com | Telnet or telnet:7373

With a basic K4 how many antenna connections are there? (SO-239s) Do you get 2 RX antenna BNCs regardless of the K4 model? I'm wondering what antenna options you have between the main and sub if you don't buy the ATU? Tnx es 73, Dave N8AG __

We traced this (on Saturday, because it's not just a job, it's a lifestyle :) to incorrect AF gain scaling with some combinations of AGC threshold and slope. The fix should be in the next beta release, possibly as early as this coming week. Prior to this fix, as some K4 users observed, the max

Is an “Elecraft style” full manual planned for the K4? The K4 introductory manual that was in the box with my new K4 is really more of a feature brochure, and the electronic document internal to the K4 is more thorough than the introduction manual but still a lot less detail than what I got with
