I note that Harry went from Elecraft to Japanese radios, Flex and Anan. I
presume he means the Flex M radios and the newly released Mk 2 Anan which do
have knobs while the predecessors do not.
I thought about my recent usage of my K3. After pressing the power button, I
set the output power

If the K3 is too lightweight, one could always go retro. My SX28
weighed in right at 100 lbs and it was only a receiver. The DX-100 was
yet another 100. On the serious side, I'm approaching 79 next month and

Hi Wayne.
I am expecting to buy a new radio next year so good discussion on the K4.
I expect to use my current upgraded K3 both at home and in the field,
perhaps at a field day event so high dynamic range is good. At home we
are out in a rural area so the K4 or K4D will be good.
I tend to

The K4's controls are actually quite a bit simpler, and more intuitive, thanks

Harry, you got they the first time.
I respect your right to an opinion and right to vote with your dollars. You
represent a market segment that Elecraft May or may not choose to address. It’s
Wayne and Eric’s strategy to decide.
I for one may represent a different (slightly) younger market
Wayne and interested others,
Way back when, I bought a loaded K3. I believe the S/N was around 4K? It was
back in the day when almost every DXpedition was using K3's so it was obviously
the radio to own. (Around 2009?) It was at the top of the Sherwood ratings.
Owner's bragged, incessantly,
Thanks Wayne, something to look forward to

What do people think about voice recognition? Recent Google Android phones
do a decent job of voice recognition on the phone itself with no connection
to the internet or cloud voice recogniton servers. There are open source
voice recognition software applications that run on Linux. No idea how
You forgot to mention that "miracle of control" called the K-Pod.
Without it, I would be chasing the K3 with a mouse via HRD (mouse or
K-Pod sits on the edge of my desk within easy reach). I prefer to run
without being tethered to a computer.
A few extra buttons on the K-Pod would be great,
Hi Wayne,
Thanks as always for your direct response. I appreciate your forthrightness on
this issue and willingness to tackle the more difficult
questions/aspects/design decision justifications.
