I think that they will adjust your shipping charge when your order is
processed. The following is shown on the Elecraft website under Black Friday Sale: "Free Ground Shipping on these items anwhere [sic] in North America. Shipping cost will be reduced at the factory after order is placed" John KK9A From: Mike Weir ve3wdm I went online this evening to order some items for the Black Friday price. It says free shipping in North America but in the checkout I am being charged 46.00 for shipping? I'm in Canada and that's North America so how is the shipping free??

Read the whole email from Eric. Freight will be adjusted later but you won't be charged.

Wow, another email from Elecraft that never reaches me. I never get the
firmware announcements either. On Thu, 24 Nov 2016, Nr4c wrote: > Read the whole email from Eric.

John,
Nice catch. Typo fixed!

Hi all,
After reviewing Elecraft's momentous decision to participate in the Black Friday sales we figured that many hams would need a Kx33 Low-RFI power supply for all those KX2 and KX3s that will be bought so...we are going to offer Free Shipping to US hams starting today, Nov 25th and extending through the end of the month for all Pro Audio Engineering products. We would love to extend this to all North American hams, but it is impractical given the ratio of product to shipping cost. Alternatively we will split the shipping cost to North American hams outside the US in this same time period. After your purchase we will refund you 50% of the shipping cost. Happy Thanksgiving all you US hams and a belated Canadian Thanksgiving and Mexican Revolution Day! Cheers & 73, Howie - WA4PSC www.proaudioeng.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Dear OMs and YLs,
I had a chance to see the new K4 at Friedrichshafen. It was like visiting flowers with bees swarming to have a go. I am impressed and have a few points perhaps not mentioned previously. 1) Ergonomics: a) The Main tuning know is raised and has clustered directly around it certain LEDS and Switches of particular use in tuning. LEDS are TX, Delta Freq, SUB (RX), and DIV for diversity. Having "Delta Freq" directly adjacent to the tuning know may help me remember to stay off a DX frequency. Switches are Freq Ent, Scan, Lock A/B and Sub/Div. Positioning these switches right at the main tuning know seems to me an improvement over the K3/S. b) Having the Spectrum display directly in front and on the radio itself yet also giving a good size for the spectrum display is also to my liking. c) Because the spectrum display is built in, the radio is not as wide as a K3 and P3 combination. The HDMI port still allows me to have a 24 inch monitor for the frequency display so the slightly smaller display will not cause me difficulties. d) A built in P3 should reduce the number of external cables. e) The tactile feel of the switches has been improved. 2) Economy, Many accessories of the past are built in. a) No need for a DVK CW, voice recorder card as this function is built in. b) No need for a more stable oscillator as this too is built in. c) No need for a wide band filter to allow general coverage because if you switch out the superhet front end, you already have a general coverage RX. Eric confirmed that the Superhet front end can be bypassed. d) No need for a 4 kHz filter for FT8 as you can just switch out the superhet front end. FT8 is normally not a mode used in contesting so should be pretty robust without the superhet front end. e) No separate P3 f) No need for an accessory board in the K3 to enable an external monitor. 3) Ease of installing updates for diversity and also superhet front end; I understand that it will no longer be necessary to unplug the front control panel in order to install these options. This was always a bit of a worrying moment for me though I have assembled three K3 radios and removed the front panels on a number of occasions for updates such as installing the DVK. I am an old goat with shaky enough hands and deteriorating eyesight. I should go through the specs to compare total weights of a fully equipped K3 and P3 combination to the fully equipped K4. This data is probably not yet available. How will the power consumptions compare? It will be interesting to see the full specifications and Sherwood test results. No matter, my plans are to purchase in the next twelve months. I like the Elecraft philosophy of keeping the radio relatively small, light and most importantly allowing for future enhancement. Agreed you will work anything with the K3 that you can work with the K4. Most likely the 7300 will work 99.9% of what the K3 works but a VW Beetle will do what a Porsche does but just maybe not with the same style. 73 Doug EI2CN PS Sadly there will be no Fred Cady, KE7X book this time to further inform. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Very good review and information Doug. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
I too will be ordering a K4, probably in the second production run. I may wait until the super het version is available.
