The only thing to learn are the new features. Seems all the old friends from
the K3 are also on the K4 panel, just arranged a bit differently.

I’ll bet the manual will be available to download soon after the first few
radios are shipped to regular customers(not field testers).

Personally, I hope Elecraft is giving itself a well deserved, quiet, peaceful,
no-stress, Holiday break. They’re certainly going to need the rest before the
inevitable onslaught after the first of the year :-)
Happy Holidays, everyone ….

We can wait. None of us wish to flex our K4s back to Elecraft to have items
reattached on the inside that fell off or have modifications made that
could have been caught before shipped.
To Wayne, Eric and the crew. Merry Christmas and happy new year. You have
our blessing to wait as long as
When the KPA1500 came out I was one who said I should wait for it to be fully
tested and out for a while before thinking about getting one. That is why I
fairly earlysent my full deposit in to get the free shipping and get on the
waiting list, hi.
I did the same thing on the K4 and I did good
From my point of view, I have no problem with Elecraft waiting until
all the bugs are out of the K4D before being delivered. I am waiting for
my KPA1500 to arrive and I waited a year or 2 before taking the plunge
and this time I have no problem waiting a few months for the K4 to come
out. It
A good reason for Elecraft NOT release a manual before the radio is
available is that there are competing companies that would love to have
a copy of the K4 manual before the radio is available. That would allow
those competitors to add features or performance enhancements to their
own radios
why wait for the k4d ??? There is no waiting.
when the K4 ships, I understand that the K4D will be shipping
also...NOT THE K4HD.
life is WAY too short, so I can add the super duper front end later.
Might as well start learning the radio.
Merry Christmas & happy holidays to all

I truly get the idea of wanting to know
when something new like the K4 is being
brought out, I'd like to know too.
I always hesitate to ask because I it is
probably impossible for anyone in
management to make a statement other than
"predicted". I'm sure they have no idea in
any specific
I agree the field testing is a very important step for both the rig and
the manual.
A step that should take as long as it takes...
Software bugs are one thing but finding hardware issues are better found
before the product starts shipping mode.
I am sure I am at the end of the shipping list,
Steve,
Unless the K4 is being done differently than all other Elecraft
transceivers, the manual will only be available until after the
completion of Field Test.
One of the purposes of Field Test is to refine the manual.
While the K4 does contain a processor, it is dedicated to the K4 and its
OK, January is fine as it's only 10+ days away... AND yes, Jan 31st is
only 5+ weeks.
(Joe, I bet as a kid you had no problem waiting for your gifts at
Christmas or other big holidays...)
what I am waiting for is the manual. It will/should answer many of my
questions.
Maybe before the K4 is
Web site still says January 2020. One out on the 31st satisfys that. Remember
the KX3?

Has anyone picked up any intel from the Mother Ship on the K4 delivery schedule?
Not much on the website lately on the subject.
