Like you I own a K3 and owned and sold a K3S. I also have a KPA500 and KAT500.
I too got tired of waiting for a K4 and bought a TS-890. Elecraft radios taught
me to always have a spare, so considering similar ergonomics, I also acquired a
TS-590. Before all of these I had a Kenwood TS-870
Steve,
Sorry we missed you. I had thought briefly of listening to the Utah
SDR, although I've never had much luck with anything but the SDR #2 on
20M with the omnidirectional antenna, during the 20M SSB net earlier in
the day.
But, considering you are located in Utah, I might be able to

Good Evening,
Twenty meters was pretty good. Some slow, mild QSB with a little
noise. Forty meters was OK too with a little storm noise. The KH1 was
mentioned but a KX1 checked in from a backyard. Hmm... :) There is room
for a barbecue, picnic, or roasted chili net. N0SS used to send
Please join us on 3784 kHz (NOTE THE NEW FREQUENCY), 9PM ET Sunday
(0100Z Monday). Note that the net stays on the same local time, when we
switch back and forth to/from Daylight time, so the UTC time changes,
but not the local time.

HI John,
You really should ask this question on the Elecraft-K4 groups.io reflector.
There have been discussions there comparing the K4 to the 890. There are
several on the reflector that have owned both.
You will get a better answer there.
Rob Sherwood is one who has owned or used both and if
Hi all,
Long time fan of Elecraft, I have a K3s and a KPA1500, both are
currently in service. My primary HF radio is now a TS-890, I bought it
about four or so years ago after giving up waiting on the K4's to be off
the shelf ready to purchase.
So on to my questions about the two rigs. For

Well,
Somebody got a good deal at the Pacificon flea market this
morning...a K3 with the upgraded synthesizer and also a P3 - for less
than $1200. I was really considering it... But I have so many radios
already, and where would I put it? Actually need to thin the herd :).
There was

Hi,
I would really appreciate if the KH1 would have a CW UI like it can be enabled
on the KX2 or KX3.
The user interface of the KH1 seems so well structured and many settings are
available after one or two keypresses, it would really be helpful for visually
impaired operators if a few things

Dave, I agree. You certainly should not have to pay that kind of shipping for a

Alan, G4GNX, it’s not unfair to expect an item purchased from a main dealer
in the UK for the dealer to supply service, without the purchaser having to
pay for shipping to/from California. A friend recently had to pay return
shipping from the USA on a K4D warranty repair for an item purchased from
I should have said "had" and not "has". Actually I forgot the first one
delivered didn't work as soon as rf was put into it (bit of a problem
really) so it was swapped for another unit. From what I have read, 10
years is not bad in comparison to what others have reported. In the old
days,
IMO that’s a tad unfair. Shipping is always expensive, regardless of which rig
you buy, unless you live in the country of origin. It just shows up as worse
because individual items are being shipped, so it’s not hidden in the overall
price. In fact if there was a UK distributor, you would

The radio is modular so quite possibly the entire radio would not
require return.I have found Elecraft support superlative.There are
also repair services available in the EU.Perhaps just as EI dealing

I agree 100% Dave.
The lack of distribution and service facilities is a major impediment,
especially when considering the high cost of equipment.
I already have an expensive boat anchor sat on my desk (an SPE
amplifier) for precisely the lack of service facilities and I would
never buy
Here in the UK, Waters and Stanton sold Elecraft products and provided a
limited level of service. However, W are now owned by Moonraker who have
no real service facilities (as far as I know), and neither are currently
listed as distributors on the Elecraft web site.
