Re: [Elecraft] K4 Remote Software?

We considered offering a faster-than-light option for the virtual-K4 software: the EleWarp(tm). But it turned out that, thanks to supply chain issues, we can’t get dilithium crystals until 2023. Until then our CW ops will have to be content with full-impulse. (Did I mention we’re also

Works great, Fred, if you have very low latency to W7RN. Sending winkey over the wire and generating the CW @ the station has always been flawless for me... but that works for you, and that's awesome. There is no one solution: it's always a systems problem. 73, Gerry Hull, *W1VE *Hancock, NH

As a proponent of the "Regardless of the MTBF of each part, put enough on the rocket and something will always be broken," I opt for fewer is better, especially if software/firmware is involved.  I key W7RN remotely from my local Winkey on Pin 4 of the I/O connector on the back of the

Bob, You said it's "great on phones." Is that to say you experience the sidetone volume decay only on the internal or external speaker? What is your headphone impedance? The sidetone volume is controlled by MOSFET Q5 on the Control Board. Are you able to manually vary the sidetone volume STL

Hi Jim, I've been doing remote ham radio in serious contest stations for about 10 years now... Though is wasn't me, the guys at ZF1A achieved a 433-QSO-per hour CW rate on remote, using a K3 and Microbit RRC boxes. On non-ideal Internet paths, I typically reach 175+ hour rates on CW. This is
