K4 Bluetooth audio?

[Rick Bates, NK7I]

I may have missed or forgotten it; but does the computer portion of the
K4 (the network chip specifically) allow for BlueTooth audio from the K4
so one could use a BT headset (or hearing aids)?

I have a BT headset with a (no boom) mic used on a iPhone that would be
awesome to retask for phone on the K4 audio.  Two less wires on the
desk, foot switch to transmit...

73,
Rick NK7I

PS if not, can it be one for the want list?

Rick, I tried Bluetooth from my K3 using an adaptor at the phone jack.    No cord to the Sony noise cancelling headphones would be nice.    The latency on CW was the killer.73 Doug EI2CNSent from my Galaxy

The latency is ok with BT aptX. You should look for the BT adapter
supporting it plus the headphones. Sometimes they just say "lower
latency" but this is not aptX. See here for more info:

For low latency, look at devices designed for gamers. They need low latency too.
