the K4 Front panel.

While anxiously waiting in line for the KPA500 to be released, I printed out a picture of the front panel
of the '500, cut it out and placed it on the shelf where the '500 would go. Then I could pretend that
the station was complete.
Almost as good as the real thing!

Re: K4 capabilities

Ralph -

I love that story. When I was in high school I saw a full page photo of the
Hallicrafters SX-101A in CQ Magazine. I cut out that photo and had it taped
to my desk while I finished saving for that beast of a receiver.

Re: K4 capabilities

I took similar action: I took a screenshot of the downloaded K4 brochure and had it put onto a mousepad. So now I have a K4 (mousepad) on my ham shack desk.

I remember seeing Barbie Benton as the
Playboy centerfold. I tacked that in my
closet.

Posting that on my wish list never did
work...
