Dave,
It does remember the settings on a per jack basis - at least mine does.
You just change the MIC SEL menu from front to rear when switching. The
gain and bias settings should remain the same.
Some hams don't like to explicitly enter the menu, but prefer to assign
it to a PF key.
73,
Shouldn't need to tie up a PF for this feature. The K3 should be able
to remember the setting on a per jack basis.

I use PF1 to switch between front mike input, no bias, and rear mike

My mistake, then. I moved recently from a K3 to a K3S, and must have
missed this change in the manual.
I'll check that out.

Hi Drew,
You'll be able to connect a keyboard (wired or wireless) directly to any of the
K4's USB-A jacks for direct control, or in conjunction with the rig's built-in
data modes.

So for my home station, my PR77d still plugs into the front and my phones in
the back, just like my K3S/K3 now.
Sure wish the second phone and 8-pin Foster plug were on rear.
And USB beside the Power button.
Oh, well. Still want it.

I'll turn 76 this month, and have significant peripheral neuropathy, so I
can understand what you are concerned about... but it has never been an
issue with me and my K3 because I have NEVER connected ANYTHING to the

My thoughts on gandedness:
My complaint about most Radio’s is placement of phone and mic jacks on front
panels adjacent to control knobs. The RF and AUDIO gain controls are still
right next to the mic and phone along with a potential YSB cable.
Put these connectors near “push” button
Hi All,
Hmmm! Even if it were true (that the K4 favored right handers), that
wouldn't be a disadvantage to me, and I am very left handed!! I've almost
always favored setting up my radios on my right side, and operating the
controls with my right hand. My left hand is then free to either
OK. I realize this is tongue in cheek, but...
We can move the feet to the top, flip the display in its
mounting, and flip all the buttons. All that is left is to
change the labels on the panel and handle the complaints that
the tuning knob, RTI etc. are in the wrong places. :-)

I learned the cw paddles with my right hand. My friend W8RO suggested I switch
to my not dominant left hand so I can write with my right hand. I flipped the
wires and found that I was just as good with my left hand (no difference right
to left). Something about the brain and learning, eh?
Also being left handed, I've used the K3 on both sides, but prefer the
radio on the left, leaving the traditional 'mouse' hand on the right;
useful for those who can still manage more than one task at a time. ;-)
In other words, the K3 has no bias towards either hand for the essential
I would agree Don. My K3 sits to my left at a right angle, and I'm right
handed. I even have to turn my head oh my. So far no complaints from my
other hand.

I realized soon after I posted about the K4's "Handedness" that I have a K-pod,
which should solve the problem nicely. Thanks E'craft! Always ahead of the

Just a peripheral note- the K3 seems not to have a handedness. It works fine
for either left or right-handed people. The K4 seems obviously a
