[Elecraft] K4 and VHF/UFH add-ons

[Grant Youngman]

They’ve made some comments on the VHF/UHF capability previously.  I think Elecraft indicated they were thinking around 15W for the VHF/UHF module.  And as I recall full-duplex/satellite was not in the initial plans.  I’m going to guess this isn’t the current hi priority item on the list.  Availability maybe mid-year.  A search in Nabble or a quick review through mailman archives should find those posts.  No guarantee my memory is any good of course.

The “official” target dates remain Nov/Dec availability for the K4 according to the website.  There were comments during a video interview at a UK hamfest that it might be after the 1st of the year.  But there wasn’t much context to those comments — so not clear if that was regarding “general availability”, or if 1st deliveries to the various deposit/pre-order lists might be sooner. or ….

It will show up when it shows up.  It would certainly be worth the price of admission to be a fly on the wall to see what’s going on in Elecraft test and development ..  :-)
