[Elecraft] Musings on a K4

2011-07-25 Thread Joseph Trombino, Jr
Howdy Gang: After the introduction to the new KX3, I've been wondering if Elecraft is also giving us a look into a future K4 receiver architecture. Will they go with a larger size transceiver based on SDR/QSD ala the KX3?? How about a P3 integrated into the K4??? Of course, dual receivers

Howdy Gang: I'm eagerly awaiting a report from Wayne N6KR on how the KX3 performed during Field Day. I took my K2 out to the field on Saturday for Field Day and used my PAR EFHW for 40/20/10M and made 30 QSO's in just over an hour. 10 meters was excellent for about an hour at 1900Z but didn't
