K4 Remote internet bandwidth requirements

Dennis Ashworth-2
There was a recent thread regarding the internet bandwidth required to support full K4 remote operating requirements. I have operated my K3/K3/0 combo from all corners of the world with mostly good results, but those results are highly dependent on speed, bandwidth and latency.

Comparing to my existing K3 station, it would seem the K4 may require more bandwidth given the pan adapter and other data transmitted over the Internet. Is this a reasonable assumption?

If so, my question to Elecraft (submitted last year, but never answered) is whether data intensive features could be rolled back or shed in low bandwidth environments. For example, can I turn off the pan adapter functionality if it’s use makes the remote connection unusable. I’d rather have the core radio functions work reliably ... and play radio ... than be QRT because the Internet cannot support full radio functionality. Seems the ability to shed loads would be beneficial.

Dennis, K7FL
