While I have a K4HD module on order for my K4D (0406) I am also interested in Wayne's comment about strong signal performance.
On the CW bands, particularly 17 meters where I often operate, many times I have observed strong CW signals whose keying causes key clicks to appear some KHz away from their frequency. For example, the other night a strong signal from W1AW code practice at 18.0975 could be copied by its key clicks at 18.079. I have heard this behavior on other bands -- e.g., 40 and 20 meters -- and have reported it to supp...@elecraft.com, along with videos. So far I haven't heard any explanation for these key clicks. It could be that I have a flawed K4D or am using some settings that cause it. (I wasn't using either pre-amp when I heard W1AW's clicks.)
