Elecraft KX4

[John Harper]

I recently bought a mcHF (a real one, not a clone) and, as much as I like
it, I wish Elecraft would make a similar radio.

The main advantages of a mcHF over anything else out there are its built-in
panadapter and its one-cable connection to a PC for digital modes. No PC
required for SSB, CW or PSK31.

The KX2 and mcHF are of a similar size and are shown together here for
comparison:

Disadvantages of the mcHF - and where an Elecraft (KX4) would shine - are
in support and documentation. I hope we'll see a KX4 soon, with all the
Elecraft advantages and none of the mcHF's shortcomings.

I’m with you 100%, John! Hope Elecraft is listening!

Love the mcHF, but there is really NO customer support. If the current group of developers aren’t interested in fixing a bug or adding something new, you’re told to do it yourself. Not something I’m interested in doing, or really able to do. But as is, its still a fun and innovative transceiver!

Elecraft could do it right!
