[Elecraft] K4 Internal and External display resolution-connector

2020-01-12 Thread James F. Boehner MD via Elecraft 
I have a question as to the video output connector.

The K4 appears to have an HDMI connector for the monitor output. 

I have been told by other manufacturers that using an HDMI connector
involves royalty fees or some other licensing.

Is this true?  If so, how has Elecraft navigated this situation?

Hi Dave,

The K4's internal LCD has a resolution 1024x600, which is very sharp.

We also demonstrate the K4 with a large external 1920x1080 HDMI compatible 
monitor. Our h/w should support up to 4K external monitors.

Note that rather than just mirroring the internal color LCD of the K4 on the

external monitor, we can display data independently from the LCD at the same

time in whatever format we wish, such as the full screen spectrum and
waterfall 
display we've been showing at the shows at 1920x1080.

Yes, in addition to using the VFO knob to change frequency, you can change the 
K4's frequency by clicking on the desired signal with a mouse or by tapping on 
it with your finger.

Wayne and Eric, (I combined your replies)

That is good news here.

It does lead to more questions though. ;)

Like: If displaying the pan-adapter(s) on a 4k external display 
(Awesome), what could take their place on the main display?


The mini-pans? Expanded meters? Spectrum analyzer? Real time propagation 
prediction? Oh my!


Thanks for the replies guys, as a new customer I appreciate your 
accessibility. ( And my new KX3 in the mean time )

The LCD also has an extremely wide viewing angle, and high max 
brightness.
