[Elecraft] K4HD

[Tom Azlin W7SUA]

Yep, technology is sure fueling the competition for our $, desires and 
needs. Even the Kenwood TS-890 and Yaesu FTdx-101D are in there for 
nearly same price and features. Still my upgraded K3/500 is still doing 
well with my KX2/100 as my field/spare rig.

I bought my K3 for both Field Day and station use ( serial 17xx). I 
actually bought two s/n 17xx K3 kits, one fully loaded and one for the 
field. Still have the field one after having a TS570 and Orion out in 
the field. I expect I will be at the Hamvention next year to look at the 
K4 in person and put my K3 back in the field and spare kit.

I spend all afternoon between the FlexRadio and Elecraft booths looking 
at the Flex 5000 and Elecraft K3. Field simplicity, high dynamic range 
and low TX phase noise sold me on the K3.

But if you want a radio for contesting, dxpeditions, field day and the like you are encouraged to look at the K4HD which will have a dual superhet radio module. Shades of the K3 and K3s!   Dpn’t get me wrong, I love the K4, I think it is beautiful, and have long been an believer in everything Elecraft. Years ago I ventured away from the family and  bought me a Flex-1000, then a Flex 5000 and proudly wore the T-shirt (“Real Radios Don’t Have Knobs”). Now look a Flex and their Maestro. I cannot help but see some parallels here, and grin.
