Re: [Elecraft] K4 IF signal 'OUT' for external application useage
OK, so the only thing I do with ethernet is connect to the Internet
via a router.
So would the K4 ethernet connect via the router using a local network
to communicate with my computer? I have that option to network my
printer between multiple computers.
One related question will the ethernet permit separate IQ from main
and sub Rx (diversity mode with separate antennas)? I do that with
my K3 by using both 1st IF's to two LP-Pan which create IQ baseband
to a four-port soundcard. I have both LP-Pan phase-locked to a
single LO to preserve diversity reception. The computer runs MAP65
which takes two receiver IQ inputs.

Just curious at this point.

IQ streaming data from the K4 will be available over Ethernet.
