Just looking at the updated manuals and wanted to know about the DC input power range limits.  On page 4 of the new update its ays power of 13.8 to 14.2V preferred.  I have been running my K3s with an input power of 14.8V based on IMD tests I have done.  What is the safe range for DC input and is the 14.2V recommendation based on an IMD sweet spot or can I leave my existing supply at 14.8V. I can adjust down to 14.2V if that is better operating point.

Thanks for updates on docs.

This is mentioned in the online manual. However there's no suggestion as to
how it would interact with an external device. Obviously some code inside
the K4 would need to do some signalling, perhaps written by an approved ISV.

How would it physically transmit commands? USB, Ethernet?

USB, Ethernet, or RS232. There's no limit on how this could be done, but it 
hasn't been added yet. Do you have a particular antenna switch or other device 
in mind? It could also be a rotator, etc.
