I’ve been following the “Shipping Status” page for the K4. It’s readily
apparent that the K4D is being shipped at a faster rate than the “basic” K4 -
no doubt because it sells for a lot more !
Maybe by Christmas…maybe!

A K4? With all the upgrades Elecraft has supplied and the options I've added,
there's no doubt in my mind that my K3-100, serial #3448, is now a K4. I sold
my first K3, #0178, and that was the worst radio decision I've ever made - w/o
doubt! If I still had it, it'd be the equal of my #3448 -
Dick, Jim, Pete (W4WWQ):
Thanks for your help. N8LP Tuning Relay now working as advertised.
The “Interrupter” was key to getting it to work and once, with the help of Dick
Pete, I figured the phono plug on the K3 belonged on the Key Out jack and not
the PTT jack,
it works
Elecraft Reflector participants:
If any of y’all use the N8LP tuning relay w/ your K3 and KPA500, I appreciate
your help.
My kit went together smoothly and all ohm meter checks A-OK. When I plug the
relay into the SteppIR control box the green light comes on.
I have RCA phono plug cable running
Elecraft Reflector:
Some weird things going on at my station. My across the street neighbor's
front yard tree took a direct hit from lightning middle of last week.
When I turned SteppIR control unit on for my Sundays skeds, it was
inoperative; fortunately I had a spare control board and
Elecrafters: Tech support at Elecraft is closed at the moment. I had a nice
QSO with W0YY a few minutes ago and when I went to shut down the K3, the
Power button did not work. Tried pushing it from a variety of angles, no
dice. I powered down by turning my Astron RS-35M off - that did the
F/Up on power problem: My KAT500 is powered separately with a SEC-1223. When
I turned the SEC-1223 on to activate the KAT500, my K3 display suddenly came
to life and the power button works again - go figure!

Hi, David:
A note to say that, as you suggested, I exercised the KAT500 over all
bands (10-40 meters) on both CW SSB sections so there are memories
established for each band.
All is working well and, again, I thank you for your interest and

Originally Elecraft estimated an August 15 shipping date for the KAT-500 but,
realistically, did you really believe it?
Of course not, delays are bound to come along and if it ships during the Aug
31-Sept 7 window now posted, I'll be a happy hambut realistically,
it might be later but it'll
Elecraft is taking orders at Dayton for its KAT-500 auto antenna tuner

fits perfectly atop the K3 or KPA-500.

KPA-500 #698 sings beautifully. A great kit and Dale at Elecraft and Don,
W3FPR, were great in helping me resolve my one miscue. If you're squeamish
about taking this kit on, don't be...it is a breeze, just take your time and
enjoy as the kit building goes all too quickly! Now for the ARRL DX
connection (depends on whether your dryer
plug is a 3 conductor or a 4 conductor).
Actually, if you mix the neutral and live, you will end up with 120 volts, so
I presume you have some different problem.

K3 Experts: My K3-100 has been flawless in its performance until yesterday. I
had a schedule with W5ZNN who told me I had a hum on my signal; I put my
headphones on and sure enough there it was on transmit. I tried plugging the
Astron 35M directly into the AC outlet instead of the outlet
as detectors.
Does it disappear if the microphone is not connected? Use XMIT to put the K3
in transmit while you are listening. If it is only when the microphone is
connected, you may have a broken wire in the mic cable.
