Musings on a K4

[Phil Hystad-3]

Funny, that would be my nightmare K4.

I want a K4 to totally surprise me with features in a configuration that I would never have thought of.

Try a TS-990 plenty of weight there or a 9000MP plenty of HP but you need a
2 wheeler two too move it. The FTDX-5000MP is a good choice for home.

I would expect the K3 to remain the premiere "on the go" radio but I still
want a "real radio" for *home station operation* without the need for four
or five boxes.

If I stack the KPA-500 on the bottom, KAT-500 next up and K3 and put the P3 next to that stack, then it will look like one radio - hi hi.

Hey, that's what I will do.

Also, wrap the stack in black plastic wrap.
But first put in a lead ingot, so it will be as heavy as the FT-5000.
And use blue-tinted wrap to cover the front panel so the  display will be Yaesu Blue.  :-)
