K-4 capabilities

Art Suberbielle-2
As we all await the arrival of the K-4, I'm wondering if the radio will
"remember" all of the settings per band. Specifically, I use different RF
settings per band and have to remember to reset the RF as I go from 160 to
20, for example. Will these settings and AF gain, etc be recalled per band?

Wayne, et al, tell us more about what you've been doing on the software
design side of the K-4 while "on vacation" at home?

Re: K-4 capabilities

Wayne,
    In these times of lockdown some of us are buoyed up with the prospect of
the new K4.     Well some of the fortunate who are waiting for early
delivery.    It is a bit like waiting for Santa as a kid.   When a toy
catalogue came in the door I devoured it; well maybe these catalogues are a
thing of the past.   Nonetheless, anything you can tell us about this radio
just gives us something to look forward to.    I see from the back of QST
that the Kenwood TS 890S has some pretty nice features and impressive
specifications.    It will be most interesting to see how the K4 stacks up.
Will Porsche surpass Jaguar again and claim pole position?     The K4 is a
big hope for the future.    Tell us what you can, we need bedtime stories to
fall asleep dreaming over.

                                   73 Doug EI2CN

Anxiously awaiting it.   There was promises of more and frequent conversation unless I am mistaken.   I paid for it in full and am not going to cancel it but would like more information
Thank youWB8PKK

Re: K-4 capabilities

Mike VE3YF
Yes getting some more info would be great. I have been bugging the boys
at Elecraft for an electronic copy of the manual, but nothing yet. I
have all the cabling done and a spot cleared on the desk beside my
KPA1500 for either my K4D or K4HD, I too have paid the full amount and
just waiting for the early May date when California will ultimately
decide if people can go back to work or will have to stay isolated
further. I think from reading everything hinges on that time frame.

In the meantime I guess we will have to wait and stare at pictures of
the K4 Front panel.

Re: K-4 capabilities

Doug Turnbull
Hello Mike and friends,
      Well you are not in the EU and do not need to wait for CE approval.
The start of this process can only begin as I understand with a production
model.    Until CE approval is obtained Elecraft can not shirt to the EU.
I am not complaining about EI being in the EU but am anxious.    I suppose
one could bring one back from the USA on a plane and declare it in the
airport but there are no flights out of EI to USA for such purposes these
days.    My radio is also paid for and ultimately it will be the K4HD.
One can add the "superhet ?" front end later when it becomes available.

                                    73 Doug EI2CN

PS this is what happens to one who is cocooned.   Over 70s in EI are not
even supposed to leave their property to go grocery shopping
;  this is something neighbours are expected to do.

And, how will I be able to interface CW Skimmer for contesting? Will there
be a I&Q output available in MME format as there will be no IF.
