What are the capabilities of the K4HD on 630 meters?

Hi Wayne,


Your email implies that the K4 no longer has the capability to transmit
a few dBm on 630 meters to drive an external 630 meter amplifier.


Does the K4 now require an external transverter, unlike the K3 that
provides a few dBm of 630 meter TX output?

It can do either. You can route the low-power TX signal to either an external jack or an internal transverter.

Similarly, there are both internal and external transverter receive connections.
