Like its predecessors; the K40, K42, K44 and K45 The best way to describe the K46 is that it is the Swiss Army knife of CW keyers. A CW keyboard interface, CW reader, iambic paddle keyer, backlit LCD display, and optically isolated keying outputs, sinewave sidetone, and audio splitter are all presented in one compact box. In addition, the K46 will operate many different modes including RTTY transmit, QRSS, HSCW, and conventional CW up to 99 WPM. We will sell the K46 assembled, tested, and ready to go. It is powered over a USB cable connection to a PC, charger, or battery. Please review the cable recommendations link for K46 cabling info. We do not include a keyboard with the K46, almost any USB keyboard, wired or wireless, will work fine. Exception: Logitech wireless keyboards with a Unified Interface.

The on board CW reader accepts audio from a receiver, then filters, demodulates, and decodes CW characters which are then displayed on the LCD. An bar graph is used to tune in CW stations quickly and accurately. The K46 CWR is the same as the K45, featuring much improved copy and faster reader lock than the original K42 or K44 CWRs.

Functionally the K46 is the same as the K45 with the following changes:
1) 8 line display vs. 4 lines on the K45.
2) The popular K45 audio splitter is incorporated into the K46.
3) A sinewave sidetone output with audio amplifier which can drive a small speaker, powered speaker, or the audio input of a PC's sound card for remote CW applications.
4) The sloping enclosure of the K45 has been replaced with a flat package design which is much more flexible. A low cost 3D printable tilt stand is offered as an option.
