Dear OMs and YLs,
It is better to wait for a well written manual than one which needs
work. Fred Cady had an advantage of a pre-existing manual and knowledge
gained on the forum over a period of time. Elecraft does not have this
luxury. Also Fred did not need to cover everything that the Elecraft
manual covered but could elaborate in other areas. Well Fred was a teacher
and writer so naturally he did a super job. Elecraft did a good job as
well but it was good to have a second perspective. I pray that I did not
step on the toes of the Elecraft technical writer who quite possibly is
Wayne or Eric. It is a small company doing a wonderful job. Better the
manual be a bit late than lacking. I am really anxious to see how this
new radio performs. Specifications are not given or available yet. We
will need to look at Sherwood Engineering test spectrum to see the whole
story. Naturally, I am rooting for Elecraft.
Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all,who work in Elecraft.

PS I suspect the changes in performance will be incremental. You will
still work anything with a K3 that a K4 will work. Probably the user
interface for the K4 will be improved and this may be quite significant to
many of us.
PPS It is good to see the modular approach still being used. You can start
in with a relatively modest expenditure and build up over time. It seems
to me that the real price of a fully loaded K4 is less than that of a fully
loaded K3. This and the total box size is smaller.
