K4 info?

Howdy Gang.

Any scuttlebutt about the K4 lately?

Weren’t we supposed to get some videos on the rig along with other info?

I ordered in September of last year and certainly not getting any younger,(grin), therefore my query.

Stay healthy and keep sending them ditties.

Re: K4 info?

Field Test is charging ahead with internal and external Elecraft users. 100% focus on finalizing for production shipments. It's worth the wait.

Re: K4 info?

Maybe it’s apples and oranges but does anyone know how long field testing
went on for the K3 before the first shipments were made to purchasers?

Re: K4 info?

Don't recall exactly on the K3, but it was a few weeks I think. Eric may remember. OTOH, the KPA500 and KPA1500 were just a couple days before production units began shipping. Still, the field testers gave a lot of input for FW updates before regular customers turned on their amplifiers.Each product is unique in this regard and production release is paced by field test closing the top feedback. As we all know, free FW improvements continue the life of Elecraft products. 73,Ed W0YK

Re: K4 info?

In reply to this post by Joseph Trombino, Jr

I would suggest that, due to the unusual times in which we live, we
can't accurately compare the K4 test cycle to anything previous. And, we
need to account for all that in our expectations around completing
testing, implementing new features, and product ship dates/delays.

73 de,

Eric and Margaret were planning to release some new K4 material but got sidetracked because of the upcoming The Expo -- in effect, a virtual replacement for Dayton (see www.qsotodayhamexpo.com). Elecraft is a gold sponsor of this on-line event, which happens August 8-9.

We're working on new product videos, etc., which I'm sure will be shared with everyone at some point.
