[Elecraft] Fwd: K4 SDR version

[Wes]

Ralph,

KVOI is -7 dBm here on my 40-meter dipole.  On the 160 antenna it's about 3 dB 
higher but that's folded over for the lightning season,  Despite running 7 dB 
more power and not being a much different distance KUAZ is about 13 dB weaker.  
I guess that's why the commercial owner gave it to the U of A, took a tax write 
off and lets the taxpayers fund it.  KFLF, (50 KW) further away still is -6 dBm.

My SDR-IQs handle this just fine.  I briefly owned an RSP-2 Pro that folded up 
like a cheap suitcase and was unusable on any frequency and it supposedly has a 
BCB filter.  I suspect that the K4 will be unfazed.
