Bob, well put.  Every release to me like going out and buying another, better radio.

Dave,

 

The exact price wasn’t exactly known as of May 2019 since not all of the sub-component prices had been obtained by Elecraft yet.  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.

 

As far as being on the fence, there are still many promised features yet to show up in the K4 firmware that might cause you to delay a current purchase but I got two of the K4Ds and am having a ball with mine just as they sit.  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!  😉

Does anyone recall or know what the K4D price was if you ordered back in May of 2019?

 

For those who have received their K4 on the East Coast, what was the shipping cost for just a K4D?

 

I'm on the fence here as to whether or not I should invest in the K4. I'm also considering the ATU but I already have the KAT500. I'm not getting any younger. :-)

 

Tnx es 73,

Dave N8AG
