If there's a PC in the shack with an unused Ethernet port, one that connects to the Internet via WiFi, Windows Internet Connection sharing could also work, with an Ethernet cable between PC and K4. Per WA6HHQ, Elecraft is also working to provide a way to update the firmware via flash drive, where a PC (or MAC?) could be used to download firmware from a web site. Obviously updating via direct Internet connection will be the most convenient. 73, Bob, N6TV __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

[Elecraft] K4 Pan bandwidth or span
Maybe I missed it, but what are the choices for the Span on the Pan Display? Additionally, can the spans be set to different values for VFO A and B? Specifically, other than the mini pan screen what are the minimum and maximum values for Full screen view for one VFO and for Half screen showing the second VFO. I am not seeing it in the manuals. Or, Maybe I just missed it. 73, Morgan Bailey NJ8M BS + MS + $2.98 = COFFEE Real Life Experience = Priceless, says the man who set his back yard on fire with a bread board tuner loading a 160 meter inverted L with 1000 watts.

Re: [Elecraft] Head Phones
I have a very old Sony MDR-V600 which is not noise cancelling but great sound and muffs very comfortable over my over-ear hearing aids. I bought the Antlion boom mic which uses a small earth magnet cemented to the head phones to mount the boom mic. I don't use the mic very much in the shack, but the headphone hang on a coat hook by my radio cabinet for frequent use. Boom mic is intended for outdoor use in portable operation with my KX3. I tested the mic on air with my K3 and got good reports with it. I also got a Senheiser noise-cancelling headphone but were not as comfortable as my Bose QC-2 (which I use mainly on aircraft). I gave the Senheiser to my wife. I tried the Yamaha with boom mic but they caused my hearing aids to oscillate (howl) whenever I put them on (so I sold it).

Re: [Elecraft] Head Phones
I would make one further recommendationBuy a pair of velour ear pads from Beyer Dynamics. They probably make them for all popular cans. They are much more comfortable than those thin (flaky) vinyl one the phones come with AND they last a lot longer too. 73, Charlie k3ICH __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] How to download firmware into K4
Do you have a computer somewhere else? Connected to the internet? You will be able to, I think, download the firmware, put it on a USB thumb drive, and update the K4 from the thumb drive.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 Firmware update
