Mine was made in Japan but I heard others are made in China.

These prices do not include the ATU ($400) or even a hand-held Mic. The total for the K4D that I was thinking of purchasing would have been almost $5470. (+shipping ??) it’s out of my price range. It will be interesting to see what the K4HD goes for. I’m glad that I had my $1500 deposit refunded several months ago. I have to wonder if one will really be able to tell the difference between any K4 and the FTDX101D which can be purchased for under $3000 and includes the ATU and a Mic????
