Ray, Thanks for your wonderful praise and support. However, at my age, I do not intend to put up the bucks to purchase a K4. My fully loaded K3 and P3 along with my KX3/PX3/KXPA100/KXAT100 stations along with my fully loaded K2/100 Twins are more than adequate for my wants and needs and will

I sure hope that one of the beta testers is Don, W3FPR.   He's done so much for the Elecraft community, and is so widely respected, that he -deserves- to have an early crack at the K4.  IIRC, he did receive one of the first production units of the KX3, which is my favorite rig. Of course, I know

I was a K3 field tester. There were no NDAs, except Wayne and Eric asked us to keep our mouths shut until told otherwise. As far as I know, we all did. At some point we were encouraged to talk about our experiences. No, I am not a K4 field tester! 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VC

Surely you know better than expecting a beta tester to speak up at this point, when the software and features aren’t yet complete. If there are current beta testers, and If I had been sufficiently “prominent” to have been anointed one, i’d have to keep my mouth shut, too. I think the best optio
