Wayne and all, Thank you, thus we know why the specifications for the K4HD are not available. Though one wonders about K4 and K4D specs. What might we expect if ARRL or Sherwood Engineering were to run their tests. No harm in asking though you may have reasons for staying mum. You may be sure that my deposit stays with Elecraft. The success of the K4 and indeed Elecraft is important to me. I dare say that if you were inclined and if it were legal shares in Elecraft could be sold along with your radios. Elecraft is a company many of us want to support because product, support and attitude are just first class.

Mike, K4HDs will take longer. We were working on a final piece of the HDR module when the lockdown hit. It also uses additional parts affected by the supply chain, including crystal filters, different ADCs, etc. Those who take delivery on a K4D can later upgrade to a K4HD at any time by installing the modules in the field or by sending the rig to Watsonville. Availability TBD. 73, Wayne N6KR > On May 16, 2020, at 3:11 AM, Mike VE3YF <m...@ve3yf.com> wrote: > > Hi Eric: > > Thanks for the nice update. Your date projection for the K4 is very promising, however as we all know that Federal, State and Municipal governments can really throw a wrench into everything. Good to see that you and the crew is being pro-active and getting the work environment all ready to be utilized in an post Covid-19 efficient manner. I hope that everyone at Elecraft is doing well through these trying times. One question though, will the HD option be ready at the time the first group starts to ship, I have ordered and paid for a K4D, but thinking I might upgrade to the HD version. > > Stay Safe and well. > > -- > > *73 De Mike* > *VE3YF > > _/http://www.ve3yf.com/_* > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email > list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to > n...@elecraft.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to turnb...@net1.ie ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
