With more K3 radios broken on the bench than working at my contest station (J68HZ) and NO spare modules to work with, I had to make a decision on replacement radios if we are to participate in contests in the next few months. Knowing that the chances of receiving 3-5 K4 radios by October were exactly zero, I had to find something else. Therefore, I ordered several Flex 6600 radios. Shipped in less than 6 weeks. Big learning curve, but not much of an alternative. They also integrate very easily other automation products. I know plenty of others that are contemplating the same thing.
If you find a K4 used, it will be a miracle. Dr. William J.

I've got one on order, but in the last few days, but I've been playing with one that a friend loaned me while he's on vacation. Saturday night, I made about 250 QSOs in a little less than 6 hours in the All Asia CW contest. I love the filtering, diversity works awfully well with my Beverages, and receive audio is significantly better than my K3s. 73, Jim K9YC On 6/20/2022 1:36 PM, Alan D.
