[Elecraft] K4 or K4D

[Greg Mitchell]

The reasons to get a K4D over a K4 I think are only:
1) You need diversity receive.
2) You need to receive on two frequencies on different bands while still
having bandpass filters engaged (the K4 can receive on 2 separate bands at
once, but it has to bypass bandpass filters).
