[Elecraft] K4 and Linux Infrastructure

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

I apologize if we have created any confusion on this topic.  (Yup - we have been 
a little busy as of late with the K4 introduction ;-)

To be clear - we do not plan on granting open access to the main CPU or K4 
internal operating system. That would be a impossible situation to support and 
it would significantly impact product stability.

At this point, any additional internal software applications developed for the 
K4 will be coming via Elecraft.

Of course we will certainly will have a robust external API for the K4.

In the interest of reducing list bandwidth overload, lets end this thread at 
this time.

73,
Eric
