[Elecraft] K4 or K4D

2021-11-05 Thread Dave Barr 
I operate from a 50 by 115 foot lot using a tribander and two open wire 
fed dipoles.  I use a K3 with the auto antenna tuner, but no 
panadapter.  Primary interest is contesting (usually qrp and S&P) and DX 
chasing.  I never operate 2R in contests. There can be fairly high rf 
noise levels in the neighborhood, say S3 to S6, but not always.


My question is this:  Does the K4D have a real advantage over the base 
K4 for me.


Thanks for your opinions.

Dave, K2YG

2021-11-05 Thread Greg Mitchell 
The reasons to get a K4D over a K4 I think are only:
1) You need diversity receive.
2) You need to receive on two frequencies on different bands while still
having bandpass filters engaged (the K4 can receive on 2 separate bands at
once, but it has to bypass bandpass filters).

My situation is similar to Dave's.
I live on a suburban lot 70' x 140' but only have dipoles at the 
moment.  I purchased a K4F (base K4) and have no regrets.  Although I 
still have my FT-1000D and may try for SO2R at some point in the future, 
the base K4 is perfectly adequate.
