The commands in the Programmer's Reference can all be executed from a macro in FLdigi, and I suspect from many other add-on programs as well.  This takes care of most of my needs for the K3, and I would expect the K4 would be similar. 73 - George, W3HBM On 11/27/2019 8:09 PM, Walter

One nice thing about the K4 is its essentially unlimited room for software program/data expansion. It will be able to save full operating profiles, mic settings, and whatever else users agree would be helpful in the future. This is one reason for the front-panel USB jack. Wayne N6KR > On

No K4 user will ever have to use -- or even see -- a Linux command. The embedded computer is there to make things simpler, and the operating system will not be something you need to be conscious of. That includes software updates. Any internal "apps" (advanced software functions) will be 100%

Yes, that would be nice... What I want to see (for ALL) utilities is the ability to load into Linux without having to compile the utility (I understand .deb files) Many Linux users are NOT geeks.  I just wanted to get away from W10... OR have good directions on how to load into the most

Dear OMs and YLs, Even if this could be done in the K4 Utility it would be useful. This facility might even be better in the Utility if this helped to keep the radio user friendly. Boy, this list goes on and on but it is good just the same. We are all writing our letters to Santa.

Will the K4 have the ability to save (and then select from) various “profiles” so that a user can go from, say, 20m 100-watt CW to 80m 10-watt FT8 with all the saved settings (power, mode, bandwidth, audio in/out levels) taking effect simply by selecting the chosen profile? Tnx/73, John AE5X

I have NCC-2, 3 el-HiZ and a Wellbrook loop. NCC2 is not useful for weaker antennas until one adds amplifiers and, for peace of mind, antenna guards. Very expensive. I had it once miswired and it blew the inside - no fuse. The only time I use it now is for power line noise canceling. Ignacy,
