Guys, As I mentioned in an earlier post to John, WB5THT, this reflector is really not the place to discuss at any length anything about the K4/K4D. There is a dedicated reflector for that at Elecraft-K4 @groups.io. Bob, N6TV one of the K4 testers is on that reflector and answers many questions. I'm not saying the K4 shouldn't be discussed here. I'm just pointing out that on the K4 reflector you will get a much more in depth, varied and informative answer than you will on this reflector. Most K4/K4D owners do not monitor this reflector. By the way there are over 1500 K4s out there at the point. The very question of this thread was discussed at length sometime ago on the K4 reflector. The thread not only discussed a comparison to the 890, but the 7610, 990 and other radios such as ANAN. Rob Sherwood is on the K4 reflector and owns an 890. He put his thoughts out about the two radios. He also discussed other radios he has used as compared to the K4. Others who have owned or do own an 890 gave their thoughts as well. All one has to do is subscribe to the K4 reflector and search the archives. If you ask the question, Bob, N6TV will probably answer by providing you with the link to the thread. In the files section there is a huge file that has many questions and answers that have appeared on the reflector. Also, many questions on programming macros etc. also exist in the files section. If you are wondering why I monitor this reflector, I have a K3, 2-K3S, K2, KPA500, KAT500 and KPA1500. This is the place where that equipment is discussed. As to my K4D I monitor both reflectors. Quite honestly, I can't ever remember a K4 question being asked here that wasn't already asked and answered on the K4 reflector. By the way you don't have to own a K4 to join the reflector. Anyone interested in the K4, weather they own one or not, is welcome. Those are my thoughts Gentlemen. I'll go back to sleep now.
