doing final edits tonight. :-).

The final version is up now at https://elecraft.com/products/k4-transceiver

Re: K4 Pricing Posted

When I placed my order In group one, I was told I could add the ATU when my order came up for ship. What I failed to ask is if adding the ATU at the time of ship will affect my place in line when I confirm my order and pay the difference.

Does anyone have any insight on that?

Lou,

Forgive my ignorance: What's a K4/10-F? (I assume that "F"
indicates "Factory Assembled").

Based on the naming convention up to now I would say it is a factory
assembled K4 with 10W... a QRP K4 ;-)

Or it is a typo

Re: K4 Pricing Posted

In reply to this post by Jim Finan

Those prices look OK to me, it depends what happens when the EU dealers add their mark-up/import duty.

What I REALLY want to see is the TX IMD for the 10W and 100W versions at 10/30/50 and 100% PEP. Please publish this as soon as possible.

My K3S is a great source of disappointment in this respect, especially when I look at the superb TX quality from the transverter socket. I really hope that the guys have paid more attention to this.

I only operate on 50MHz and above and it may well be that the 10W version with a driver amp would be better. If the TX IMD is good enough, I will buy a K4HD. I need the blocking performance for EU VHF contests.

Assuming they have one to drop into your K4 it should not affect your ship date.

Hi Joe,

You can add K4 options or change from one model of the radio to another without changing your place in line :-)

Re: K4 Pricing Posted

In reply to this post by Lou W0FK

I was disappointed to see the pricing for the K4. I thought the base K4 would be in or around $3500 to $3700 and perhaps $500 or so to go to the K4D. As it turns out, another $900 for the K4D. These prices do not include the ATU ($400) or even a hand-held Mic. The total for the K4D that I was thinking of purchasing would have been almost $5470. (+shipping ??) it’s out of my price range. It will be interesting to see what the K4HD goes for. I’m glad that I had my $1500 deposit refunded several months ago. I have to wonder if one will really be able to tell the difference between any K4 and the FTDX101D which can be purchased for under $3000 and includes the ATU and a Mic????

I hope you folks enjoy the K4 as I’m sure it will be a great radio. I will continue to use my K3s as the price for that fine radio is dropping like crazy and has allowed me to pick up a second one for a surprisingly low price.

Re: K4 Pricing Posted

In reply to this post by Lou W0FK

Dave,

I understand your disappointment, but in reality these little toys of ours cost money to design and produce. Just for fun I googled the K3 and that a posting from 2009 eluded that a loaded K3 in 2009 was $3700. In today's money that is 4,522.73. The 1000$ plus price of the K4 line doesn't appear to be unreasonable considering the effort that has gone into its design and new features.

Unfortunately, in our world nothing of quality ever seems to be free. I'm mortified every time I go in and buy a new car. I don't buy cars often, but each time I do the prices have more than doubled. My first new car was 6,800$, then 15,000$, $30,000, and the last did not quite double rather 40,000$. (Our previous car was destroyed in a wreck and replaced sooner.) And worst yet not one of the cars had a resale close to what we paid for it.

The bottom line here is that you have to pay to play. If you find something that works for you be happy with the experience. In my book anything that give you the experience is what's important.

YMMV

Re: K4 Pricing Posted

In reply to this post by Lou W0FK

IIRC the price for a base K4 was always predicted to be ~$4K. I'm on the "no
deposit" list (I think) so my dismay is the extended delivery time. My 79th
birthday is later this month and I had hope of treating myself. But based on my
experience of being the first kid on the block to have a K3S my time frame to
buy was one year after deliveries started.

If I simply had to have a new radio now, just to have a new radio, I would buy a
TS890. Two things have stopped that (for now), the less then stellar NB/NR
performance and, this is going to sound anal, the lack of rear panel phone and
mic jacks. I dislike cables dangling out of the front of a radio.

I have the FTdx101D. It wasn't made by workers in America and I don't have a pipeline to the designers. Those two things alone might be considered worthy of the extra expense. But K4 performance will be proof of the pudding.

Mine was made in Japan but I heard others are made in China.

>>> I was disappointed to see the pricing for the K4. I thought the base K4 would be in or around $3500 to $3700 and perhaps $500 or so to go to the K4D. As it turns out, another $900 for the K4D. These prices do not include the ATU ($400) or even a hand-held Mic. The total for the K4D that I was thinking of purchasing would have been almost $5470. (+shipping ??) it’s out of my price range. It will be interesting to see what the K4HD goes for. I’m glad that I had my $1500 deposit refunded several months ago. I have to wonder if one will really be able to tell the difference between any K4 and the FTDX101D which can be purchased for under $3000 and includes the ATU and a Mic????
