Chuck:  Hate to disappoint, but the inside of the K4 will no doubt look like a computer (my K3 does) - which is exactly what it is. Nothing recognizable as RF related for us old timers to relate to. Don't get me wrong. I like my new rigs, but I do miss things I could understand (and repair).

Hello, this is not good for K4. These products are thought to be manage by operative systems and drivers (like Windows or Mac or Linux), this is not the case of the K4 that have a custom "OS" and can't manage that kind of devices. Maybe you can use more complicated and expensive devices

Wayne Please stop trying to distract me.  I am trying very hard not to visualize the K4HD taking the place of my ft1000mp already sitting next to my loaded K3 with P3 (K3 purchased in 2009 serial #2995).I also replaced my manual tune Alpha with the KPA1500 (serial #153) and that combo is one

Hi Brian, Its a regular RJ-45 Ethernet jack on the rear of the K4. (I believe it is gigabit ethernet..) Usually your network router provides the wifi to connect wirelessly in the house (also including a DCHP iP address server.) Embedding wifi in the radio is problematic as it is a rapidly

For less than $10 you can buy a little WiFi adapter that plugs into a USB port.  For example: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WN725N-wireless-network-Adapter/dp/B008IFXQFU/ Alan N1AL On 5/20/19 8:24 PM, Brian Denley wrote: Wayne: When you mention that the K4 has Ethernet (which means

Or are you saying that you connect the K4 to your in house router through Ethernet and then access it through WiFi? (It’s making sense to me now! Hehe). Thanks Brian KB1VBF Sent from my iPad > On May 20, 2019, at 11:24 PM, Brian Denley wrote: > > Wayne: > When you mention that the K4 has
