top-class SDR all mode transceiver
K4 plus option KDIV4, + druhá sada pásmových filtrů a přídavný ADC modul přímého vzorkování.
-----
Adds KDIV4 option, with a second set of band-pass filters and additional direct-sampling ADC module.
This allows the two receivers to use different antennas – a requirement for diversity receive. Having two sets of
band-pass filters also optimizes signal handling when the receivers are on different bands and/or antennas.

A direct-sampling SDR you’ll love to use
Our new K4 harnesses the latest in signal processing while retaining the best aspects of the K3S
and P3. The resulting user interface makes the technology transparent, allowing you to focus on
working the world.
160-6 meter, all-mode coverage & dual RX
The K4 includes dual receive over 100 kHz to 54 MHz. Since it utilizes direct sampling, there’s
no need for crystal filters in the K4 or K4D (see Models, back page). For extreme-signal
environments, we offer a dual superhet module (standard in the K4HD). An internal VHF/UHF
module is also planned.
High-resolution mini-pan for each receiver
Our advanced fine-tuning aid, with its resampled bandwidth as narrow as +/- 1 kHz, is displayed
separately from the main panadapter. You can turn it on by tapping either receiver’s S-meter
or by tapping on a signal of interest.
Simple operation and setup
The K4 features a large, full-color touch display, combined with a rich set of real controls. Per-
VFO transmit metering makes split mode completely foolproof. Band-stacking switches and
per-receiver controls are both intuitive and versatile, adapting to operating context. Usage
information on these and other features is just one tap away, thanks to our built-in help system.
Rich I/O complement
The rear panel includes all the RF, analog and digital I/O you’ll need to complete your station.
All K-line accessories are supported, including amps, ATUs, and our K-Pod station controller.
The HDMI video output supports an external display with its own user-specified format.
Full remote control from multiple devices
The K4 can be 100% remote controlled, via Ethernet, from a second K4 as well as a PC,
notebook, or tablet. Panadapter data is included in all remote displays.
Modular hybrid architecture
The K4 adapts to your needs, with three models to choose from: basic K4 with wide-range dual
receive; K4D, with diversity receive; and K4HD, with a dual superhet module for exceptional
dynamic range. You can upgrade or add options as desired, or as new technology becomes
available. This extensibility
