Is there a K4 or 1500 watt amplifier on the horizon?

Until either of those products are actually "close enough" to release to
take orders, the answer will always be no. That's just the way it is. (This in no way should imply that either is in actual development). 73, Bruce N1RX ______________________________________________________________ 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] |

Be nice to hear of a KM3....
Mobile transceiver maybe with HF/6/VHF/UHF capsbility. Anyone serious about a mobile setup would much prefer a dedicated transceiver over trying to use a kx3 which has some major obstacles when installing it for mobile use. The k3 is a bit to large in many instances and the kx3 has its own unique issues needing to be addressed for safety as well as neatness of the installation.

No guarantees, but I understand that Elecraft may be making a new
product announcement at IDXC in Visalia at the new product showcase on April 18th. I don't guarantee to be there, as this forum is scheduled for 0830-0930L. :-) Last time I got excited about the announcement of a new product, it was at the Dayton Hamvention, 2013. Turned out that Ten-Tec introduced their new programmable QRP radio. Did nothing for me. Then again, just when I thought I owned everything that I needed from Elecraft, Eric motioned me over at IDXC 2014 and showed me the new PX3. Of course, I now own one of those, as well. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 3/30/2015 1:14 PM, Fred Serota wrote: > Is there a K4 or 1500 watt amplifier on the horizon? > > Fred, K3BHX ______________________________________________________________ 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] |

Re: Is there a K4 on the horizon?

Last year at IDXC, I decided to take a chance during a forum that Eric
was presenting, to put in a good word for an all-mode VHF/UHF transceiver. I brought up the point that Elecraft already sells transverters for 2m/222 MHz/432 MHz, so they have the technology. Unfortunately, it comes down to whether the product would have sufficient appeal to justify the R&D costs. Well, I tried! 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 3/30/2015 5:30 PM, Milverton M.

Well here is hoping for the long awaited TX module for the P3.
Hopefully it will appear on the WEB site for ordering at the same time. I really want to retire my old Heath SB610.

Well i dont see where a huge budget is needed for a mobile version of the
k3. Remote the box, single rcvr, minimum hardware and a 100w pa. Remote head should not be too hard to come up with?

The K3 was announced at Visalia while simultaneously being announced at
Ozarkcon. I was in Tom Hammond's hotel room when he got permission to tell me about it and then gave me the original design documents. Later he announced the new rig to the rest of the crowd. Kevin.

IDXC is a one-of-a-kind gathering of DXers, as far as I know.
These guys are serious, and not afraid to spend money. IDXC attracts ~ 800 hard-core DXers each year. When US Tower was located in Visalia, they would have an open house to coincide with IDXC. It was not uncommon to see folks open their checkbooks and credit cards and spend some big money. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 3/31/2015 9:14 AM, Jim Brown wrote: > On Tue,3/31/2015 6:50 AM, Wes (N7WS) wrote: >> Hmm, never thought of Visalia, I was thinking Dayton. > > You should -- it's a great hangout, Starbucks within walking distance, > and your presence would add to it. > > 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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] |
