[Elecraft] Elecraft K4 and Accessibility

[Edward R Cole]

Harry,

 From what you wrote seems the K3/K4 probably is a poor fit for your 
ham radio experience.  Short time, occasional use probably other 
radios would be easier since you probably don't need or would use 
many of the features of these radios.

When I bought my K3 (sn4340) in 2010 it took me a few week to fully 
understand a lot of its features.  But I thoroughly love the 
radio.  I use the diversity Rx a lot for my eme operating.  I 
likewise don't care for the sound of the built-in speaker so I either 
use and external speaker or headphones.

I'd liken the K3 to something like a Porshe or Maserati.  I would 
guess you probably prefer a comfortable Mercury or Impala.  BTW on 
cars I chose a Ford pickup as appropriate to my use.
