Hi all,
We've been making contacts with our K4s as often as possible, often in conjunction with checkout of new software. But the Elecraft CW an SSB nets are another great resource that we've been overlooking. We'll be getting on these nets frequently in the future. Also note that we're going to start releasing K4 operational screen shots as part of a newsletter series that begins soon. The intent is both to inform potential users about how things work and to solicit additional feedback. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ 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] |

I'm guessing there's no new info on the K4 kit version yet.

The word was the kits would be about 6 months after the first release.
This allows them to get experience assembling at the factory and allows time for writing the assembly manuals.

In reply to this post by wayne burdick
Hello All,
I operated in the Classic Exchange event, and on Tuesday evening on 80 meters I was surprised by a call from Wayne, n6kr. Wayne was using the K4 (I think he was working, hi). Interestingly, I was using a Sierra qrp transceiver that I built and that Wayne designed many years ago now. Wayne pointed out that he designed the Sierra, but I already knew that as I have, like many others, followed Elecraft starting with the Sierra kit (before Elecraft), and then the k2 kit, the kx1 kit, and finally k3 (that eventually replaced MP, Orion, and Omni VI in multi-two or so2r). Thanks for the qso, Wayne. 73, Will, wj9b, dit dit CWops #1085 CWA Advisor levels II and III http://cwops.org/ On Wednesday, January 15, 2020, 10:12:49 AM PST, Buck <[hidden email]> wrote: The word was the kits would be about 6 months after the first release.

Nice to hear a Sierra on the air, Willie. Eric (WA6HHQ) also contributed to that design. That was the first time we collaborated.
