But when will the K4HD and the K40 be released? I would think the
market for either of those would warrant some priority

We're pleased to announce the new Elecraft KH1 -- a fully integrated, hand-held station for those who combine outdoor adventure with amateur radio. The KH1 was designed from the ground up with instant deployment in mind. It includes: - an entirely new form-factor optimized for HT-style CW operation (as well as table-top), with both knobs and key at the bottom - a built-in whip antenna matching network and clip-on whip that gets you on the air in seconds - internal ATU that works with both the whip and BNC-connected antennas, including random-length wires - a complete logging solution, with folding logbook tray, clip-on pen, easy-to-manage paper log sheet stack, real-time clock, and 32 kb of EEPROM for electronic logging of all transmitted text - plug-in keyer paddle that flips over for safe storage - scanning/mini-pan feature for hands-free signal search on quiet bands - 2.6 Ah Li-ion battery pack and zero-RFI internal battery charger that works with any 12-14 volt source,
includi
ng small solar panels With all of the the above (the Edgewood Package) the KH1 weighs in
at only about 13 oz. It's so light you can operate indefinitely, whether sitting,
standing, or walking (pedestrian mobile, or "/PM"). It's the perfect size, with
total volume about half that of our all-band/all-mode KX2 transceiver. The KH1 covers
40-15 meters, with over 5 watts output on all bands at from the internal 11 V battery
pack. Its ergonomics are ideal for CW operation. It will also do CW/SSB cross-mode, and
can copy AM and SSB on SWL bands from 6.7 to 22 MHz. The rig can also be 100% remote
controlled via the supplied USB cable. Our newest radio has been optimized over the past
year with the help of experienced SOTA, POTA, and QRP field operators. Its small size and
high level of integration have already transformed their expeditions, allowing operation
from anywhere, anytime. (One operated /PM for many hours during 2023 Field Day, making
contacts exclusively with the attached
whip, wh
ile walking several miles.)
