Graziano, Wayne explained to me at Hamvention that the K4 is running Linux.
That gets my stamp of approval. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft / IC-7610 comparison From: "Graziano Roccon (IW2NOY)" <grazi...@roccon.com> Date: Tue, May 21, 2019 5:45 am To: Alan <n...@sonic.net> Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Hello, this is not good for K4. These products are thought to be manage by operative systems and drivers (like Windows or Mac or Linux), this is not the case of the K4 that have a custom "OS" and can't manage that kind of devices. Maybe you can use more complicated and expensive devices thought to be used with RJ-45 ports, where this device use a DHCP and give an ip address to the RJ-45 port creating a private network between the RJ-45 and the device, afterwards the device can access the WIFI network with his wifi adapter and work like a bridge between the two network. In this way, maybe, you can connect the K4 to the wifi in a more "natural" way. Like this one for example: https://www.amazon.com/Vonets-VAR11N-300-Multi-Functional-Wireless-Portable/dp/B01199OGK0/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1_sspa?keywords=vonets+VAR11+N-300&qid=1558431899&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull-spons&psc=1 Best regards, Graziano Roccon IW2NOY / W2NOY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
