K4 under the hood

Are there any internal shots of the K4? I haven't seen any yet.

Re: K4 under the hood

Even if that’s the case, it’s quite straightforward to redact elements of a photograph.

I just hope that when it arrives it doesn’t come with some of those pesky “Warranty Void if Seal is Broken” things on it :-)

I dunno... I don't think there are any inside shots of the K3 either, at
least on the Elecraft site. It seems curious to me.

I'd love to study them, but maybe it would be a bit of a "spoiler" for
the kit guys-- unboxing the kits is a lot of fun.

I’ve been longing for inside pictures

Elecraft is one of the most hands on companies. Just super when you talk to an engineer and get advice on how to self diagnose.
Back in another life I had an HP 60 KHz antenna preamp fail. Talking to an HP engineer, he suggested that he had one of those in his desk drawer and would pop it in the mail. That’s what I look for with ham radio purchases.

I have a friend that asked a manufacture what was the difference between the one model and the new model. The manufacture said "INTERNAL COMPONENTS". Just got thru mowing a couple of acres and it's hot in Kentucky.
