After a brief warmup, the K4's short-term reference lock deviation is approximately +/- 0.1 to 0.2 Hz at an operating frequency of 14 MHz. It scales linearly with frequency. This is roughly 5x tighter than the equivalent spec for the K3, so I'm guessing you wouldn't see it in a dopplergram. That

Does the K4 do temp compensation like the K3 does, in very small steps? If so, is the step size the same as the K3? I used to do dopplergrams using my old 756 PRO III, but with the K3 the frequency corrections are in steps and mess up the dopplergrams... 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://ww

Once any FT8 passband is digitized, filtered, and decimated in a K4, there should be no need to ever apply AGC - just pass the bits over to WSJT. The decimated bit stream may exceed 16 bits, so the WSJT input processor would have to be modified to accept the additional dynamic range. On Tuesd
