[Elecraft] K4 Rx is awesome...

[George Thornton]

That was not my experience.  

Right out the bat we were occupying a frequency and calling.  We were heard so well we found ourselves at the bottom of a pileup for the next two or more hours.

You might want to take a closer look at your various mic and transmitter settings.  These have to be adjusted correctly for maximum effect.

I’ve been using my K4 at 100W (per the FD rules) this afternoon on several bands.
I am 1D OR.
I can hear many many stations but hardly any of them can hear me.
To me, this means that the K4 Rx is bomb-proof, sensitive, selective, and just, well, awesome.
If the other stations had better receivers, they might be able to hear me calling them. 
They are obviously bogged down with on-site overload/spurii/phase noise etc. 
What a pity. 
I gave up replying hopelessly to CQFD’s from other 100W stations and went and did some woodworking instead.
Much more satisfying. Oh well….
