Waiting for Godot

Rajiv Dewan-2
Hello all,

I too am waiting for a K4 in Group 2 (a K4HD actually) but I put my order in late (July 2019), and so my wait will be even longer.  

Meanwhile, my 13 year old K3 (#170) is acting up with random errors and has turned into a repair project.  I needed a radio that I could operate remotely.  So, I bought an Icom 7300.  It is inexpensive and its performance is in the same ball park as most of the direct conversion SDR receivers.  I’ll likely sell it when my K4 arrives. The loss in value of the IC-7300 will be the cost of waiting.  BTW, the IC-7300 is pretty bare-bones:  Single receiver, no APF.  A W4ENE Passive CW filter helps improve the CW reception substantially.

Raj, N2RD
