[Elecraft] K4 Panadaptor Display

2021-01-27 Thread Ray Spreadbury via Elecraft
As the originator of this thread I would like to comment on the answers received so far. There have been suggestions that: 1. You can’t do it, except by using a quadrant monitor which can accept say 4 inputs! 2. You can achieve a similar result by using the N1MM Spectrum Display! 3. You can do

I think this entire subject has been thoroughly over thought. Granted, I did not read every post because of the redundancy. Hopefully I'm not guilty of the same.The issue seems to be a resizable window. If you use the K4 utility, (I'm not sure if it's fully released) it will give you a

When I left TV broadcasting in the early 2000s, we had 2 & 4 way splits on some hd monitors using an interface device (can't remember its name). For an enormous sum, we could have as many displays as we wanted on the largest displays available. I know because my production manager wanted to redo

I see lots of inexpensive devices like this $27 that take multiple HDMI and provide picture-in-picture. https://www.amazon.com/Switch-Splitter-Selector-Remote-Control/dp/B07PTYJQQ1/ Now I’m wondering how well one of these would work with P3/SVGA using a VGA to HDMI adapter? 73, Josh W6XU

Mike, Good idea. Looking at HDMI capture "cards" - I found many on Amazon and a number had audio I/O, too. Meaning...  A Zoom meeting, video and audio from the K4 as a training "session" for FD... (say it four times! "we will have a K4 for FD...) I can also "see" HDMI & K4 as a group demo

Many of us who contest a lot will tell you the radio is NOT the focus, the monitor with the logger and keyboard. My primary K3 sits next to my primary monitor with the P3 on the other side of the K3 and an external, separate monitor above the P3 for a lager waterfall, useful when chasing DX

I appreciate what Elecraft is trying to do. Making one single radio to meet every person's wants, not needs, is an impossible task. The K4 is a bells and whistles radio. The everyday user or for that matter contester does not need half of the interface ability that the K4 will offer. For me I need

This thread seems to be trying to re-invent the wheel. There are solutions already available. According to the K4 Programmer's manual (available from the elecraft web site), "The K4 provides three kinds of streaming data: ..., dB/bin (for reproducing panadapter data), ..." This kind of dB/bin

There are numerous sources of HDMI capture adapters that looks like webcams to the PC (e.g. https://www.adafruit.com/product/4669).  Feed the K4 output to one of these and then you can do almost whatever you want with it. 73 /Mike de K6VN On 1/26/21 07:01, weave...@usermail.com wrote: > What

I display, whether physical or logical (e.g, a quadrant of a real display), only supports a single input — it has no means to “window-ize” multiple inputs. Thinking about this some more, it seems it should be possible, eventually, to put a piece of remote software on the same machine that runs

Thanks for the quick answer Grant (& also Ed W0YK). That is more than a little disappointing as it means that as a contester for example, you either have to have two or more displays (ie. One for a logging program & one for the K4 display) or buy a much more expensive display which enables

This question was addressed during the recent Zoom presentation/Q The answer is no — except. Some displays supports multiple video inputs that can be assigned to quadrants on the display. So you could assign the K4 video stream to a quadrant (essentially a logical dedicated display), for
