[Elecraft] K4 on Digital Modes

[Gus Holcomb]

Hello everyone,
   As it gets closer to being able to actually have a K4, I was hoping someone would know how the radio will interact with a computer. I’m only personally familiar with using my kx3 + kxpa100 with a single audio interface and usb control cable on the computer.

I read the documentation that said that flexradio style “slices” would not be visible to the end user, but I’m not sure what the alternative is?. With the K4D, for instance, what interfaces are presented on the computer and how many of them are there? Will all over them be accessed over ethernet or can you also use USB? What software will you need to run on your computer? Can you run multiple copies of a wsjt-x and monitor different bands/frequencies simultaneously? Will you be able to transmit on each of those bands seamlessly? With the K4D each having a receiver and a sub-receiver can you monitor 4 bands or just 2?

Thank you,
Gus Holcomb
