Actually, being strong on computers, I did indeed consider the Flex
6600M (I like knobs to twist!).
On the surface, it appears to have outstanding support, update ease, and
an active user community.
However, it's not an Elecraft.
Standby. Watch for my posting of the arrival of my new "miracle" K4,
Bill! :)

With more K3 radios broken on the bench than working at my contest station
(J68HZ) and NO spare modules to work with, I had to make a decision on
replacement radios if we are to participate in contests in the next few
months. Knowing that the chances of receiving 3-5 K4 radios by October
were
exactly zero, I had to find something else. Therefore, I ordered several
Flex 6600 radios. Shipped in less than 6 weeks. Big learning curve, but
not much of an alternative. They also integrate very easily other
automation products. I know plenty of others that are contemplating the
same thing.
If you find a K4 used, it will be a miracle.

I seriously doubt that anyone will part with one unless they're in money
trouble or giving up ham radio.
I've got one on order, but in the last few days, but I've been playing
with
one that a friend loaned me while he's on vacation. Saturday night, I made
about 250 QSOs in a little less than 6 hours in the All Asia CW contest. I
love the filtering, diversity works awfully well with my Beverages, and
receive audio is significantly better than my K3s.

Considering adding a K4 to my shack, but not keen on the Elecraft
expected-delivery time.
Write or text me if you have one for me.
