K4 New Years Surprise?

[Dave Erickson]

Hey Guys,

The day is not over yet, wouldn't a New Years Day reveal be fun?

On a more serious note, has it been revealed yet what resolution the
built in display will have? I am in the market and all the other radios
in this class seem to have quite low pixel densities. And most of those
have the display outputs at the same very low resolutions.

Happy New Year to all.

Hi:

Hopefully everyone had a good Christmas and Happy New Year.

Just curious FWIW, I just can't seem to get the KPA500 Remote program to
work. I can get the KAT500 and the KPA1500 to work, but the KPA500
refuses to load. It says "Unable to load specified amp driver".

I am using the latest version of remote software from the Elecraft site.

Any idea's would be greatly appreciated. Tnx.

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.

73,
Eric

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

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 )

As of now the LCD still shows panadapter(s) if an external monitor is attached. It would be possible to use more of the LCD for TX monitoring, text decode, etc., in this situation, but I can't give you any specifics at this time.

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.

Just dropped better than $2k finishing up outfitting my K3s and P3, but
if you and the rest of the Elecraft crew keep this up, I am going to
have to get in line for a K4HD!!!

Not sure if my (very HAM supportive) XYL will sit still for that. ;-)8-):-D
