Hello Eric, Sorry I now have a good view of the rear panel so know there are two separate type BNC connectors for RX antennas used in Duplex.
I would still like to know how much disassembly is required to install the two superhet front ends. Thank you. 73 Doug EI2CN -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft Sent: 22 May 2019 17:19 To: Nr4c; elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Fwd: K4 Questions Hi Bill, Answers below each of your questions below. 73, Eric /elecraft.com/ ==== On 5/21/2019 7:21 PM, Nr4c wrote: > Hello > > I am just about to drop a down payment on a K4 transceiver, but first I have a few questions. > > 1- does the K4 come with the ATU included? Why is there a KAT4 on the pre-order list. Like on most of our radios, the KAT4 ATU is optional and can be added at any time. This allows those using the K4 full time via an external amp with ATU and external antenna switching to lower their cost. This also applies to those who are dedicating a K4 as an IF radio for VHF/UHF/Microwave. > 2- how many USB ports on front panel? The K4 has one USB-A on the front, two USB-A on the rear. If more inputs are needed, an external USB hub can be used on any of these. Mouse, Keyboard, Flash Drive etc can be plugged into these ports. The K4 also has one USB-B on the rear (with internal sound card and mutiple comm ports like the K3S). >>> 3- how many SO-239 connectors on rear of K4? Photo shows 4 but I wonder if thats the rear of a K4 or K4D? All three K4 versions start with one SO-239 for Hf-6M. Three total when the KAT4 is added. There is a 4th rear position for an antenna connector when a future planned VHF/UHF dual-band internal module is released later next year. That will accommodate a SO-239 or type N socket. >>> 4- is there I/Q output for either or both VFOs? Yes, over Ethernet. >>> 5- if I plop down $1500 on a K4 today, can I send the other $2500 prior to start of shipping and get moved to the 1st shipping group? Or is that a limited time offer? As long as we have not filled it up, we'll move you up to the 1st shipping group. We'll post when the first group is full, which will happen soon. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
