USING THE STATUS DISPLAY
The status area comprises two lines of system information, just above the
Info button (<?>) at the lower-left corner of the screen.
By default, these two lines show UTC date and time. Tapping in this area
brings up the STATUS DISPLAY button group, allowing you to select various
display configurations. There are also two system status windows, one that
shows all voltages/currents/temperatures, and another that shows
hardware module status.
Status Display Functions
<DATE/TIME>: This is the default status display, showing UTC date and time.
If your K4 has an internet connection, the date and time will normally be
accurate to within approximately 1 second. Hold <SET> to set the date and
time manually. (This should only be necessary if your K4 does not have an
internet connection.) The Set function also allows you to select EU or US
date format.
<ID/TIME>: Shows your ID (callsign, name, etc.), along with UTC time. To
edit the ID text, hold <EDIT ID>; this brings up the alphanumeric keyboard.
<TX PARAM>: Upper line shows supply voltage and current drain; lower line
shows power output and SWR. Hold <ALL PARAM> to display a list of all
system voltages/currents/temperatures. These values are updated every
second or so and may fluctuate.
<SIG LEVEL>: This selection shows relative main and sub receiver signal
levels in dB, useful for signal-to-noise measurements, antenna testing, and
receiver comparisons. To reset the relative dB level to zero at the present
signal level, hold <Set 0 dB>. This is typically done when only noise is in the
passband.
