K4 Reports
Locked
 
|
I know that this group consists of many of us who are very loyal Elecraft customers, many who ordered a K4 in the first hours orders were being taken. My order went in Oct. 1, 2019, so it may be March before I see mine.
My guess is a few of us have received their K4’s but are reluctant to post anything about them because of the avalanche of questions that will flood their inboxes. I wasn’t an Elecraft user when the K3 came out, but I suspect the same thing happened then. It sure would be nice to find some way to get user reports of the K4 without subjecting the poster with a flood of questions. 73, Terry N7TB ______________________________________________________________ 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] |

Hi Terry
Roughly 2 weeks ago I sent this out. "12 + hours ago, I was lippy toward Elecraft and ate my words 20 minutes later when I was told that my K4 was on a bench getting final upgrades and the thought that it should be out the week AFTER Thanksgiving.. Then next morning I woke up to 80 messages asking me for numbers... The DAY after Thanksgiving I had 10 people write to me and ask if the K4 was here and how it was." As with the unboxing of one of the 1st KX3's, when the K4 comes in, I will post pictures.

I don't recall an avalanche of questions with the K3, but I do recall a
lot of impatient purchasers. Once shipments began, they proceeded in fairly good numbers which quieted things down and I suspect the same thing will happen when the K4 ships. Nor is there much need to flood the reflector when within 60-90 days Rob Sherwood, QST, and others will have technical reviews far superior to what most new owners might provide. Moreover, initial reports are often misleading because 90% of the supposed problems stem from not reading and/or misunderstanding the manual. 73, Kent K9ZTV (K3 21) On 12/2/2020 12:50 PM, Terry Brown wrote: > My guess is a few of us have received their K4’s but are reluctant to post anything about them because of the avalanche of questions that will flood their inboxes.

I have a question. How do you plug an early K Pod into a K4. Is there an RJ
plug to USB adapter and where/which USB socket do you plug it into on the K4. ----- Chuck, KE9UW -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ 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]

The K4 has three USB A connectors, two on the rear and one on the front panel. The K-Pod can be connected to any of these using a standard USB-A to USB-B cable. The K-Pod is powered through this cable. Eric has tested three K-Pods concurrently, and they can be connected through an external hub if desired.
The RJ connector is unused. 73 de Dick, K6KR > On Dec 3, 2020, at 08:01, ke9uw <[hidden email]> wrote: > > I have a question. How do you plug an early K Pod into a K4.

Dick,
Does the K-Pod have any ability to be a remote device to a K4 or do we need to wait for a K4/0 device for a remote?
