[Elecraft] Will there be a K4

[Gary Smith]

I have K3 #202. It has all the upgrades 
possible to the K3 including the new PA, 
everything. It is covered on a shelf 
waiting for the day I need it if the K3s 
is being repaired. Same connections, a 3 
minute swap job, done.

I have my daily runner; K3s #10622 which 
has minus the 2M module, everything 
including the Sub RX, fully loaded with 
Elecraft bling. 

In a box is my father's Icom 7something 
pro, returned from repair and calibration 
and with 1 month use on it. I keep it for 
sentiment, I've never used it. I should 
let it go.

I have my old Corsair II which I still 
love but it's not quiet enough now that 
the K kine has spoiled me. I'll probably 
give it to a new ham or sell it, I don't 
need it any longer.

So I have come to love the Elecraft 
product line. I have decided if... there 
is a K4 and that is an upgrade to the K3s, 
I will get one and sell the K3. Sure I'll 
take a hit because the low SN# will scare 
some off but it'll sell at a fair price 
because it is perfect. That'll go toward 
the K4. If I took a good vacation that 
would set me back the cost of a new radio 
and I'd have nothing but smiles and photos 
to show for that multiple thousand dollar 
jaunt.

Put that Vacay money into a K4 and I'll 
have something to give me daily smiles and 
memories. Not much can beat that. So if 
there's an upgrade K4, I'm in. Promise.

73,
