[Elecraft] K4/K4D Audio Codec question...

[Bill Frantz]

You can do this with K3 or K3S with a sub-receiver, but you 
don't need the sub-receiver with the K4 because it can monitor 2 
6M frequencies with just basic K4, you can get the digital audio 
stream through the USB connection or through the audio 
connection on the back panel.

The left channel will be VFO A and the right channel will be VFO 
B. Using the USB connection means you don't need a "sound card" 
to digitize the audio.

If you are just looking for activity, just listening to the 
audio may be enough.
