Both of the 90 minute Zoom calls hosted by Eric were informative. There was a lot of information overlap, but there was something new in each of them. I haven’t heard whether these recorded Zoom calls will be available for playback or not, and if so, where they’ll be posted. Grant NQ5T > On

I don’t have an extremely noisy QTH, but noisy enough that it keeps me from successfully working EME on 6 meters with my K3S. So, effective noise reduction on digital modes could be a game changer for me. John WA1EAZ Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 9, 2020, at 1:15 PM, Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP

Eric mentioned it in the Q session that followed, he said first batches would likely be end of this month with sporadic shipping based on materials availability from then until they can achieve regular shipping. Martin, HS0ZED Sent from my iPhone > On 9 Aug 2020, at 17:49, Bill Mellema via

Roughly End of August 2020 Plus the Elecraft Website has been updated to say "First Shipment targeted for end of August 2020" That is good news on both fronts, but nothing about the final price of the K4, K4D etc, but that should come soon. -- *73 De Mike* *VE3YF

That announcement was made in the Zoom Q that followed, and during the 2nd Zoom K4 presentation Eric gave later in the afternoon. It sounded like it might be well into or end of October to get the entire first order group out the door, give or take. Partly dependent on supply chain, partly

Did Elecraft answer the big question-When will they start shipping the K-4? I am registered for the Expo but unable to get any further than Elecraft booth. Clocking on videos brings me to YouTube and the latest promo video. But no mention there of the big question. 73, Art KZ5D
