I tried to send this yesterday, but it went astray. :-(
Straight from the horse's mouth, so that there will be no rumors or
doubt:
I have the K3S-line and am interested in the K4. I do not have an order
placed yet. I'm waiting until the kit availability is announced.
Someone on another group suggested that there should be a group setup
specifically for the K4.
I responded by doing just that. It is a group for enthusiasts by
enthusiasts. No more, no less. I'm not looking for praise. It is what it
is. ;-)
I would ask new subscribers to be patient. As with most groups, your 1st
message has to be approved, before you become unmoderated. There is a
time difference of 5 - 8 hours between the USA and UK, so if you send
your first message whilst I'm asleep, it may be delayed. It's not
personal. :-)
The group has sporadic use, depending on information and questions on a
daily basis. When a small announcement is made, there's usually a flurry
of activity, which tails off until someone thinks of something else they
want to discuss, or there's another announcement. Eric and Wayne monitor
the group when they have time and they answer questions when they have
answers. I think other Elecraft staff also keep a weather eye on it.
I didn't setup the K4 group to take over from any Elecraft group, it's
just to separate out K4 traffic from any other Elecraft product, in
response to a request from other prospective users.

I don’t think the groups.io group here was setup by Elecraft for FTs
I think it was setup by users like you and me especially to discuss K4 stuff.

Grant to respond to your reference to not needing another group that is true
in some respect except the K4 group was probably setup for field testers and
Elecraft communications only. Being a field tester for the K2 there was a lot
of post to help improve the product before it was sold to the masses. We were
the ones that tried to uncover the PC board problems and other such things that
were initially found. Plus when you design a product you need someone else to
evaluate it and use it in ways that don’t follow the design operational flow
diagram you intended.
Opening it up to all that are interested would clutter it with way too much
unproductive chatter. Case in point is the number of posts generated when ever
the K4 is mentioned.
