Re: [Elecraft] Giving Up

I agree that the price for the K4 has to be compared with the fully loaded K3 plus P3. In that respect it is not overpriced. I don't think we should make too much of the Sherwood Engineering test data at this point.I would suspect it would be hard for the human ear to tell the difference

Re: [Elecraft] Giving Up

GM Doug,    A fully loaded K3 P3 was always dear.   It rivalled the 7850 price but did not reach the cost while arguably being the better radio.   The fully loaded K4 is less expensive to my reckoning in todays money than the loaded K3 with P3 and physically smaller.    I suspect it may not be s

Re: [Elecraft] P3 freezes

I travel with my computer and connect it to my K3 (upgraded) every time I go on the air. The last time I started operating, I noticed that my P3 did not know the frequency the K3 was using. I then noticed that I hadn't plugged the USB connection between the K3 and the computer into the computer

[Elecraft] Giving Up

Sadly, I've decided to give up waiting for the K4. I'm probably far down the list anyway. Their are numerous reason for this decision. First, there is the cost. With a tuner the price is $4600 making it one of the most expensive transceivers on the market. I fully realize that the K4 is feature

Re: [Elecraft] P3 freezes

I have a more or less fully loaded K3 with the synthesizer upgrades. The K3 was gone through at the factory and appears to be running well. I have a P3 that also has the SVGA card and the transmit monitor add on. On a number of occasions my P3 seems to freeze and fails to move with tuning as I

[Elecraft] Receiving with Skimmer SDR on K-3 transmit antennas

I would like to be able to connect my SDR (an RP-16) to my transmitting antennas, and have it automatically muted when my K3/KPA-1500 goes to transmit.  The idea is to have the best possible antennas available for Skimming while active in contests. It seems to me that I should be able to conne

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Lore

This was conversation when I was an FT for the KTA500. My goal was to get that to happen. There are already appliances to do so. The MFJ 998 is both an in shack and also a remote device as well. I use the in shack model which I operate remotely. I think that is not the profitable route for

[Elecraft] K4 Lore

What would really be great is if we could get this Elecraft tuner in a remote option for the K4, K3S, K3 (& maybe, those other brands, too). IMHO, It’s the missing Elecraft option. 73, Jeff/wb0m Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2021 00:46:46 -0400 From: Julia Tuttle mailto:ju...@juliatuttle.net>> "Elecraft's

While unfortunately the time is not very convenient for many members of this list, I am sure that tonight’s RSGB Tonight@8 talk will interest many. Rob has just completed he technical review of the K4D. Rob Sherwood’s name has become something of a standard in the radio amateur equipment world
