If that is a real picture of the upcoming unit, wow. That back panel is very
interesting. Four antenna jacks?

You aren't using a radio. It is more like you are using a computer that
happens to let you send and receive radio signals.

Re: K4 Press Release

Elecraft mailing list
In reply to this post by Larry Shapiro
Hank...

I just bought a K3S with subreceiver. Now that I've seen the K4 I'm glad
I got a K3S. I'm sure I could learn every bell and whistle of the new
unit, but would rather operate in my small way and leave the
communications engineering stuff to others. I'm glad that Elecraft
maintains its position at the bleeding edge of amateur radio design and
implementation [as I'm sure the K4 will demonstrate]. It's just that I'm
still partial to the K2, and for me the K3/s is just a supercharged K2.
I was satisfied with my MG-TD, and while appreciating the Porsche
Spider, I never pined away for one.

Congratulations, Elecraft!

Well, the K2 is still available.  I think it will be quite beneficial to
Elecraft to offer the classic K3 architecture and now the K4
architecture.  Until sales drop to zero or some critical component
becomes no longer available, I expect the K3S to remain in the line up.

Also, my K3 isn't going anywhere.  :-)

Re: K4 Press Release

Edward R Cole
In reply to this post by W0FK
The link I got was a pdf so I saved it.  Guessing full press release
during Hamvention will have more details.

I am particularly interested if:
IQ output is available for use in special sw that requires that input
(eme sw like MAP65 requires 100-KHz bw dual-Rx).
Dual RX coherent like the K3?
low-level transverter I/F (many high-end transverters run on 1mw)
Frequency stability with 10-MHz reference (any better than the K3?)
VHF/UHF sounds like 144/432 (be neat if crossband duplex for satellite).
And looks to totally scoop the new IC-9700, if it does.
630m Tx output level?

But price probably puts it out of my reach* (unless I win the lottery).
*told the wife the K3 in 2010 would be my last big purchase at $3K
