If the data is MME format, it should be already compatible as that is what CW Skimmer uses from a sound card. I see no point in using the compute power of the K4 for anything other than basic processing. It should be more efficient and flexible using your computer. For instance one of the

A great analogy is from Keysight. In the lab I work in, scopes and RTSAs stream i/q. Keysight software named Vector Signal Analysis takes the i/q and can sometimes provide more capability in signal analysis than the stand alone gear itself. Tektronix does similar. Raw, binary i/q is all

Why not ask the author of CWSkimmer, Alex Shovkoplyas, VE3NEA what his plans are?  I would think he would be a central character in making CWSkimmer compatible with the K4.  Wayne, N6KR, has already said that K4 baseband I/Q signals would be provided over the ethernet which is all, I believe,

Thoughts on this.    I would expect the K4 to be a high performance product in both the on air performance and the communications interface performance.   I would not expect it to have any embedded applications as there are just to dang many;  CW ones, Digital, ones, Logging ones, and etc.

If Elecraft makes the K4 I data avail in MME format, there will be no need to implement these on the radio itself. They can all reside on the computer that is used for control and whatever else. It will be basically like running with a KX3. 73, Barry K3NDM -- Original Message --
