Feedback/Question on Friday's Zoom Call

[Ian, NV4C]

I just finished watching the YouTube posting of Friday's K4 Zoom call.
All I can say is, I can't wait to get mine!

Question for Eric/the Elecraft brain trust - will we be able to use a
USB WiFi adapter in one of the K4's USB ports, to provide network
access? I can't get wired networking into my shack, and the thought of
downloading firmware/updates to my computer, saving them to a USB drive,
then downloading the new firmware/update into the K4 seems like too many
opportunities to corrupt the firmware.

Feedback - I'm thrilled to hear Eric expects the K4 kits to begin
shipping in 3-4 months. Even if there are unforeseen delays and reality
turns out to be 6-8 months, that is still sooner than I expected. Maybe
I'll be able to order myself a late birthday present end of March or
into April! Birthday is in late March, hint, hint! :-)

Eric, thanks for the meeting. I look forward to participating in more of
these, and in seeing your session at the QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo in
March.

73 de,

Ian, NV4C

I don't have a USB WiFi adapter handy but I do have an RJ45 WiFi adapter
from TP-Link and it works fine plugged into the K4 Ethernet connector. I
just downloaded a firmware update that way.
