[Elecraft] K4 remote

[K5WA]

Gary,

 

>From a small email exchange I had with Wayne a year ago, the K4 will have all the RemoteRig capability (but more/better/faster) built into the K4 and can use their own software or another K4 as the control side. No outside control boxes needed.  I sold all my RemoteRig stuff at that point.  I assume you could keep the RemoteRig path and simply cable up to the K4 as you have done with the K3 to utilize legacy equipment since all the RemoteRig interfaces are standard connections on a K3 and not internal CPU circuit connections…but I am a long way from knowing that for sure.  My EE degree was in Endless Eating.  😉

 

73,

Bob K5WA

The doc for the K4 talks about K4:K4 remote or from computers.  Right now I and others are using RemoteRig boxes to have K3S:K3S.  Is there a means to do a K4:K3(s) using RemoteRig? Or is a K4 required on both ends?  Might you flesh out the K4 remote configuration capabilities a bit for us?  Tnx.
