[Elecraft] K4D vs K4HD

[Peter Chamalian]

Great, thanks Wayne.  It will be exciting to see these new rigs start to
roll off the assembly line and into the hands of users.

Peter,

The K4HD has been delayed due to all the recent challenges (pandemic,
lockdown, fires). 

The K4D has been tested in heavy contesting conditions with stations in line
of sight each other, without any kind of overload issues reported. Like
these operators, most will find they don't need the HDR module. For those
who do, it'll be retrofittable at any point in time to convert a K4D into an
HD. 

73,
