K4 Settings Reader Release Notes

K4 Settings Reader

The Elecraft K4 series transceiver has a tremendous number of internal settings.  This software is designed to read, save, and compare menu settings between saved versions and those read from the radio. (I’m working on an update that will read all settings, including band dependent settings.)

Differences between saved versions, defaults, and those obtained from the radio are marked in red.

Note: Some have mentioned that their computers flag this as having a virus, which I think is a false positive. Windows and some browsers also often automatically flag an executable file (even zipped) as possible malware if it’s downloaded off the internet. I ran a virus scan on my machine with both BitDefender and Microsoft Defender. They found NO virus on my computer or in this file.
