[Elecraft] K4 Pricing

[Magnus Danielson]

Bob,

Let me tell you that the firmware update of the radio worked like a 
charm when I applied it on first evening of the K4D in the house. Plug 
in Ethernet at the back, do the magic dance of Fn->Update etc. and it 
just did it's thing.

So no need to wait, rather be patient to see things evolve.

I've had my K4D for less than a week, and it grows on me. The one thing 
I want to figure out is how I get to order an upgrade to K4HD, even if I 
know I need for wait for it and pricing is yet to be settled.

Cheers & 73,
de SA0MAD Magnus

Elecraft charged me $4,699.95 for a K4D with the understanding that I would pay some additional amount (expectation was 10%) when the price was finalized and mine was ready to ship.  I ended up paying an additional $350.  Shipping was free.

I went through the 10-year improvement cycle of the K3’s firmware and know Elecraft will be improving the K4 in exactly the same way.  Each new firmware update is Christmas Day all over again with new and improved features added to the rig!  😉
