Alan and friends please forgive me but I am a member of enough groups for different subjects. I will stick to the Elecraft site and assume perhaps wrongly that Eric, Wayne and the gang will still support it. I do have a K4 on order and am commited. There probably have been other forums for individual Elecraft products but I never visited them. Everyone is entitled to make their own choices but for me this is the site for all K4 info. I ask forgiveness for this stance. It is just the gasp of an old geezer. It is not my intent to offend but it seems better to say something now.Peace and 73 Doug EI2CNSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. -------- Original message --------From: Alan - G4GNX <g4...@g4gnx.com> Date: 28/08/2020 11:34 (GMT+00:00) To: Elecraft Reflector <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K4 shipping info 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.73,Alan.

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.>>>>>>>>> Skip Davis, NC9O>>> Sent from my iPad>>>>>>______________________________________________________________Elecraft mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraftHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:elecr...@mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.htmlMessage 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
