This is why Elecraft needs to get serious about having IPv6 support in the K4.
Because of stateless auto config, a minimal support would just be to enable
stateless auto config on the network interface and provide the ipv6 address on

As (other) Rick says, port forwarding varies between routers; but the
two key points to research for your router are:

Simplicity is the keynote to K4 Remote. If you have an external IP address, you only have

routers have different web pages to do

Beta testing of rev. R33.BETA2 has gone very well, so we're promoting it to
full-production status (R33.PRODUCTION). This means it will be installed on all
new K4s. We also encourage existing K4 owners to perform the update.
The "big-ticket" item
My new Elecraft K4 ( Serial NO. 1073 ) has developed a LCD problem.
I think the error is from my setup.
The problem is the LCD display is very slow in updating sense i was playing
around with settings. The display seems to be working but is
updating slowly. I have tried everything I know

On the subject of two radios operating in close proximity:
I have a K3/10 (12w version) that I use with a KXPA-100 on 6m or HF.
I have noted the noise level of the K3 S-meter rise about one s-unit
when I transmit on 2m with the IC-9700 + 100w TE amplifier into a
high-gain 2m vertical about
Where I used to live I had a ham friend that lived about 5-6 blocks away.
When we were both running Kenwood & Icom rigs we could tell when the other
