[Elecraft] WTB: K4

[Alan D. Wilcox]

Actually, being strong on computers, I did indeed consider the Flex 
6600M (I like knobs to twist!).
On the surface, it appears to have outstanding support, update ease, and 
an active user community.
However, it's not an Elecraft.

Standby. Watch for my posting of the arrival of my new "miracle" K4, 
Bill!  :)
