Is it possible to get the audio CW feedback on the K4, or even the K3/K3S?

Hi Rick,
Good question. Based in part on a survey of potential users, we chose to put
the RIT/XIT knob at bottom right -- also a traditional location, one that
matches that of the K3/K3S/KX2/KX3. VFO B is less often used in practice. That
said, the radio is only 4.5" tall and both knobs are
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,
I have done some searching to no avail. Is there a rubber cover for
the VFO B knob on K3/s radios?

So the problem is clearly in the transvertor.Given the fact that both rx and tx
follow roughly the same pattern a common cause seems to be logical.That could
be voltage or oscillator.Check if the voltage remains constant on both rx and
tx circuits. Also check the oscillator signal and level

Not that I know of. But the knobs have only a minor draft, so custom bands
should work fine. I'd avoid anything very thick as that could impact usability
of nearby controls.
Same applies to the K4's VFO B and OFS knobs, which are the about the same size
as the K3's VFO B knob.

do a decent job of voice recognition on the phone itself with no connection

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.

Thanks Wayne, something to look forward to

OK, I removed D16 and D17, and on the diode setting of my DVM, they both
measured the same value both forward and backward - 034. Which means they were
totally shorted.
I replaced them with new diodes (which measured 316 forward, and infinite
backward), and the RF display is once again

First, let me say, I have never owned an Elecraft radio or amplifier but I have
become interested in the K4 and the KPA1500 amplifier combination.
One of the most surprising features on the K4 is VFO B is located at the top
right side of the radio. Thus you cannot rest the palm of your hand

I totally disagree. With the tools that are available to us these days,
one person could produce change pages for the K3 fairly quickly.
However, I think I have a homebrew solution - annotate the manual with
the changes reflected in the Release Notes, and keep them in a separate

Folks - this thread is getting a bit long - let's close it at this time in the
interest of keeping list volume reasonable for our other readers.
Also, once a thread had hit 5-10 posts, please do not continue to argue pro-con
positions on the list. At that point it is best taken to private email

Hi Buddy et al,
We've definitely been thinking about this.
There's a paradigm shift going on in transceiver design, and we reached a point
where we needed to embrace it. This shift is not entirely aligned with
accessibility, as you know. I'll address alternatives in this email.
As for the K4
