OK, I am most likely late to the discussion...
Yes, it would be nice to have all the software under the hood. But, I
know I am going to need a computer for Fldigi, wsjt-x, and js8call. So I
might as well add skimmer there (if I want it) too. I don't use skimmer
now. I like contests but I want a slower pace. Beside at my QTH, just
entering a contest almost guarantees first place (not quite, but
almost). I also like keeping my software up to date and by putting it
"in the box" I will loose that control. I "see" a USB connection to the
computer a simple interface. The LAN connection should provide even
more capability (1G ??).
Since my shack computer will not be W10, I hope function software for
the K4 will be Linux compatible (as it has been for K3's). I moved from
W10 to "windows" Mint in 2019 and haven't looked back. I have also been
using a Raspberry Pi with my KX3 for wsjt-x as a remote station (remote
to living room) and it works very well...
I wish all a Happy New Year (as tomorrow is "January"...)

back to my research on a computer for the shack as my KX3 portable ops
have been using a laptop and I want the K4 to be a fixed station.
I may continue with the Raspberry Pi, to begin, as it works...

The RTTY skimmer would be nice, also!

This is very much in the plan.

As a developer very familiar with connecting SDR radios with CW
Skimmer, the best hope for a connection with the K4 is to stream the
K4 IQ data to a PC running Windows, and have a 3rd party app
negotiate that data along with other information such as frequency
to CW Skimmer. This depends on access to the K4 API. I’m hoping to
be able to develop such an app.
