Greetings from the mothership. Q: Are Eric and I keeping up with the K4 megathreads on the forums? A: You bet. But we're not weighing in as often as we normally would. On the one hand, it's affirming as a small company to be at the eye of a storm of anxious demand. On the other hand we really

I did not put down a deposit on a K4. When I heard about the first case of Covid, that stopped me in my tracks. Yes, I know many weren't so lucky and put $$ down at "Dayton". I watch the videos from Elecraft or read the great synopsis from fellas like Kimo, KH7U(and others) and read the mail

Howdy Gang. Have I missed any K4 shipping updates or have there just not been any lately? Been playing with an Icom IC-705…nice little rig but not as user friendly as my KX3. Still, it does have some nice features that I’d like to see in the new KX4 (grin). Take care, stay healthy and enjoy.
