Re: [Elecraft] WTB: K4
I knew you could do it!!! I thought about doing the same thing, I'm afraid the K3 and the spares will have to do, for now at least... 來 To the naysayers 73 Dean K2WW On Wed, Jun 29, 2022, 8:16 PM Alan D.

Re: [Elecraft] WTB: K4
Obviously time to deliver is getting shorter as time progresses. I waited a good year-plus. Others have waited much more. My wife (also a Ham) decided a K4, plus a few bits and bob accessories, was to be my retirement gift. When my K4 did finally arrive, all I could do was giggle at stellar performance I’ve never personally owned. I’ve worked a full career using very expensive pro HF gear, and my K4 certainly ranks up there. Gary, N7BRJ On Tue, Jun 21, 2022 at 00:45 Alan D.

Re: [Elecraft] WTB: K4
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! :) Alan Alan D.

Re: [Elecraft] WTB: K4
Very true, but worth asking. That is exactly how I managed to get my K4D #636 last month. The one I had on order was scheduled for a Nov-Dec delivery and one came up for sale here on the reflector. It took me about 2 microseconds to reply and claim it. Glad I did - it is a pleasure to use. And I’ve found absolutely zero faults with it. It was a simple plug and play, replacing my trusty 10 year old K3. Love that mini Pan!

Re: [Elecraft] WTB: K4
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. 73, Jim K9YC On 6/20/2022 1:36 PM, Alan D.
