K4 specs
Locked

When is Elecraft going to publish some preliminary specs like sensitivity,
and noise floor?? I really want a new radio (K4D) but I will not lay my cash out blindly. I love my fully loaded with every option, K3s and I love my back-up K3 and my P3/VGA and my KPA500 & KAT500 and my KPA1500. But I need real info.. I do not want to be like my good friends that recently bought from other radio companies that came out with a product that had all kinds of great reviews, then one of them brought his new radio over to my QTH so we could compare to my K3s, and then he went home a very unhappy camper.. I do not want to be unhappy when compared to my present set-up. At least tell me am I going to see an improvement over my present set-up?? Things like sensitivity, noise floor, noise blanker and noise reduction are biggies for me. I am not a contester, I am into weak signals in the daylight hours, on 160 and 80 meters. OK Just saying I want a new and better radio if there is one.. and maybe this subject has already been covered and I missed it. Yes I understand this virus thing has all of us a bit in the ANXIOUS mode. I still like knobs on my radio!! Stay safe Bruce WW8II ______________________________________________________________ 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 Bruce,
The latest edition of the "Introduction to the Elecraft K4" manual includes preliminary specifications. Unfortunately the version that's at the manual link right now is an older one. That will be corrected by tomorrow, and you can download it. I could send you the document directly, if you'd like. It's too big to post to a list. Check out page 40. Some specs are different from the K3; the radios have two entirely different architectures. The K4 adds a large color screen/panadapter, external monitor/keyboard/mouse support, ethernet connectivity, more digital I/O, more receive antenna selections, dual receive standard, and virtually unlimited future expansion capability. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Jan 17, 2021, at 6:18 PM, BRUCE WW8II <[hidden email]> wrote: > > When is Elecraft going to publish some preliminary specs like sensitivity, > and noise floor??

In reply to this post by ke9uw
Our "Introduction to the Elecraft K4" manual link has been updated to revision B4. This rev includes preliminary specifications (page 40). Additional specs will be added in a subsequent edition.
Here's the direct link: https://ftp.elecraft.com/K4/Manuals%20Downloads/Intro%20to%20the%20Elecraft%20K4,%20rev%20B4.pdf This manual is landscape format, 8.5"H x 17"W, to allow for K4-sized drawings. It includes approximately 35 full-color illustrations of the front and rear panels. (A printed copy will be supplied with the radio.) Comments and suggestions welcome. 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] |
