The K4 receives on these bands. Transmit output can be taken from the XVTR OUT
jack, and is about +10 dBm.

Does the K4 cover the 2200m and 630m ham bands, like the flex radios do?

There have been suggestions that:

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

I see lots of inexpensive devices like this $27 that take multiple HDMI and

Kernel drivers are another matter. Internal kernel apis are always subject
to change.

This is not correct.
For technical reasons, we've been using a somewhat outdated Kernel during the
past year's development. (This simplified some logistics for the team, while
having virtually no impact on K4 users.) All current users are getting updated
along with our development team, and it
The shortest answer is: That's not possible. It's an evolving OS like
any other; change is inevitable.

Usually any kernel update has to do with security issues (that's a very
broad stroke) so freezing it would leave security gaps or known issues.
Then there are files that constantly seem to update (i.e. the time zone

Hi Bill,
Hopefully Elecraft will be speedy with updates, I am sure they will be,

The security aspect was my concern-- freezing the OS is bad, and I doubt
they will do that.
This however now brings up the question of what happens if Elecraft goes
It is a really poor idea to freeze an OS that is connected to

Was wondering that myself, Carl. But then, I can think of two broad
reasons:
1. The Linux update fixes a serious flaw that was adversely affecting
the Elecraft FW
2. The update does something that, if capitalized on, would have a
serious positive effect on the Elecraft FW
Hmmm. Not sure why they don’t “freeze” the version of Linux that they have for

Unfortunately, that is not possible.
I've been working with Linux for decades now. Unfortunately, they
