Alan,
For starters where are all the spaces? :-) Makes it hard to read,
that's for sure.
There are so many errors:
1) The K3 might be considered an HF/VHF receiver, is you count 6M as
VHF. Also, you can add an internal 2M transverter, but that's optional.
2) The K3 has 'up to' 100W. Not sure if that's a reference to the
continuously-variable output power, or the fact that the base K3 is a
10W (12W?) rig.
3) The dual-channel receiver for the K3 is an option.
4) One roofing filter is required for the K3. More (up to 5 per
receiver) are optional.
5) The ATU is optional for the K3.
6) Remote control for the K3 is not a built-in option. Are they taking
about the K3/0?
7) The CW decoder for the K3 comes standard, and is not an option.
8) The K4 (AFAIK) is not a UHF radio (see 1, above). I don't think a
UHF internal transverter option has been announced (but it would be
nice)?
9) 200W for the K4? I wish.
10) The K4D has dual 'spectral' (to steal a phrase from Flex) units, but
that's an option.
11) The K4HD has roofing filters, not the base K4 or K4D.
12) The ATU is also optional for the K4.
13) The optional remote control for the K4 is not built-in, and so far,
not available. Could they be talking about the K4/0?
73,
