[Elecraft] [POSSIBLE SPAM] Re: WTB: K4

[Dr. William J. Schmidt]

With more K3 radios broken on the bench than working at my contest station
(J68HZ)  and NO spare modules to work with, I had to make a decision on
replacement radios if we are to participate in contests in the next few
months.  Knowing that the chances of receiving 3-5 K4 radios by October were
exactly zero, I had to find something else.  Therefore, I ordered several
Flex 6600 radios.  Shipped in less than 6 weeks.  Big learning curve, but
not much of an alternative.  They also integrate very easily other
automation products.  I know plenty of others that are contemplating the
same thing.

If you find a K4 used, it will be a miracle.

I seriously doubt that anyone will part with one unless they're in money
trouble or giving up ham radio.

I've got one on order, but in the last few days, but I've been playing with
one that a friend loaned me while he's on vacation. Saturday night, I made
about 250 QSOs in a little less than 6 hours in the All Asia CW contest. I
love the filtering, diversity works awfully well with my Beverages, and
receive audio is significantly better than my K3s.
