[Elecraft] K4 CW and keying Rise Time

I am hoping that the K4, like its predecessor the K3(S), does _NOT_ give a user the ability to change its CW rise times. I believe the K3 is designed for a 5ms rise.  Many, if not most, other manufacturers allow as little as 1ms resulting in CW signals that reach beyond 1kHz of bandwidth by

[Elecraft] K4 - Can I assume? (KHDR4)

Noting that the KHDR4 superhet option has crystal filters for SSB and CW (and I've seen a potential change of thought to provide a third XTAL filter), is a K4HD still capable of wide-band reception, i.e. FM or other modes? IOW, can I assume WB reception can be done in a K4HD without a

[Elecraft] My weigh-in, K4

I have to agree with the posts noting with disappointment that Elecraft has not, nor seems to show little interest, in producing a new competitive desktop radio.  That said, I'm sure they are working on one, but when produced, the market may be saturated with other manufacturers radios who

Not a replacement ear pad, but if you get a new headset, you might want to cover them with a "Garfield Headphone Softie." These covers protect the original ear pad and, IMHO, make the headphones more comfortable on the ear. I use them on my CM500 headset and my Sony MDR-7506 headphones.
