Harry, There is no one radio or mfg for all of us. An old FT101 will pretty much work anyone on the air. Your views, needs are interesting and your prentation measured. 73 Doug EI2CNSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. -------- Original message --------From: Edward R Cole <kl...@acsalaska.net> Date: 25/05/2019 08:15 (GMT+00:00) To: Elecraft Reflector <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K4 and Accessibility Harry, From what you wrote seems the K3/K4 probably is a poor fit for your ham radio experience. Short time, occasional use probably other radios would be easier since you probably don't need or would use many of the features of these radios.When I bought my K3 (sn4340) in 2010 it took me a few week to fully understand a lot of its features. But I thoroughly love the radio. I use the diversity Rx a lot for my eme operating. I likewise don't care for the sound of the built-in speaker so I either use and external speaker or headphones.I'd liken the K3 to something like a Porshe or Maserati. I would guess you probably prefer a comfortable Mercury or Impala. BTW on cars I chose a Ford pickup as appropriate to my use.73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.comDubus-NA Business mail: dubus...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________Elecraft mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraftHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:elecr...@mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net
