This is really funny I think:
Saturday we were sitting in a McDonalds waiting for a ham swap to open. Up drove a large SUV pulling a 24’ trailer and then pulled in two very new Jeeps all outfitted of off roading. I estimated that guys hobby (they were all alike and traveling as a group) probably cost him $100,000+ and in five or ten years he will probably sell it all for new stuff at a great loss. Any car you buy (or off road Jeep) depreciates a lot more rapidly than any of our ham gear. And we take better care of our ham gear. Dave K8WPE David J.

My instructions to my wife, kids, and executors direct that that the second call that they make (after the funeral home) is to my ham club that has a service to the members to collect and get good prices for their ham gear. OTOH disposal of the stuff in my wife's art studio - that's "unknown territory" for me... (Actually she's a member of a local Artist's Guild who may have a similar service). Now the books in my 60+ year old engineering library and my 30 year old law library - that's a different matter. :) 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

This is not what is needed in a top of the line transceiver. Give me a 48V final capable of 200 W CW/SSB/FSK and forget about low power consumption portable operation. The KX2/K3/K3/K3S already serves the low power/portable niche. 73, ...

Let's let the speculative K4 threads rest for now to relieve email overload for
our other readers. Its has exceeded their threshold of pain. 73, Eric Mooderator /elecraft.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 |

If the K4 had a built in display it would be cool to be able to use VNC to display it on a PC.

I’ve built and owned Elecraft gear since 1999. Still have my KX3 and KX2. I bought a Flex 6600M rig and it was the best radio I’ve owned in years. But Flex messed with the firmware to where if you were in full QSK mode and used the internal ATU a loud relay would start clicking when sending CW characters, messing with the normally quiet QSK changeover from RX to TX. The reason given for this firmware change was that when the ATU was engaged in full QSK mode the receive signals would be 10db down as opposed to zero db loss without the tuner in line. To be honest I never noticed this problem but Flex, in all of their wisdom, made the disruptive change. IMHO this firmware change completely ruined a very FB CW rig. Perhaps the folks at Flex are not as CW-centric as the Elecraft folks. In terms of a K4 I would certainly love to see a beautiful 8” or large front panel display. This is the direction all modern radios are going….just look at the YaeCommWood offerings plus the Sun MB1 rig. While the P3 and PX3 displays are OK, a full 8” or larger hi-res display is breathtaking and extremely useful. So, why not a K4 with a big hi-res screen? I’m ready for it…make it happen!! 73, Joe W2KJ I QRP, therefore I aim > On May 5, 2019, at 11:16 AM, Rose <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Bert, > > Then why not just purchase the Flex? > > 73 ! > > K0PP > > On Sun, May 5, 2019, 09:11 Bert Craig <[hidden email]> wrote: > >> I'm in the comparison stage of planning my next, and likely final, HF >> rig purchase.
