K4 Genovation Monitor

The Elecraft K4 series transceiver can be controlled completely using remote-control commands. These can be used by computer application developers to emulate the K4’s front panel controls. (See the programmer’s reference manual link on the app’s main window.)

This software is designed to run in the background to allow a Genovation ControlPad, connected to your computer, to be configured with various remote control commands (macros) and send them to the K4 and control it without affecting any other application running on the PC.

Download: Working Genovation File & Template for a 48-key ControlPad. Keys can be edited, but also shows how to trigger the K4 Genovation Monitor and send characters requiring a shift key.

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.
