Bruce I think I saw a price of $1699 Mike

I'm hoping to have 6 through 432 operational again for the June contest. It all depends on whether I have the time and weather cndx to get the temp tower up. If I have full capability, I'd love to

From the Elecraft web site: “Due to possible price increases from our suppliers, we are unable to provide you with the price of the Elecraft K4 or K4D. We anticipate that the highest price tier

Thanks for sharing that info Bob.

Thanks Jon! I’ll be asking questions at the Elecraft booth tomorrow. Any of you have questions to be answered? I’ll post prices when available. When the site was up, they would take money down,

Also, this might be a better option. I have a feeling these guys "did it right" as it were. https://www.lutz-electronics.ch/pdf/K4_Brochure-print_Lutz.pdf -Bob N3XKB

I'd read up on the moon-net list about this one. The big themes have been that Icom completely missed the mark on the 10MHz input on back (used only to do manual calibrations), it drifts in digital

I have one. It’s only been here for 3 days, so I’m in no position to comment with authority. I’ve not had any exposure to the modern Icom line, (My old ‘706 is still in service, but bears

Hi Bruce and all, I’m at Hamvention and plan on purchasing a 9700 if I can find a good deal. If not, I’ll order it when I return home. Rumor is that it’s a good performer, but I haven’t

With Dayton discounts sure to come in the next day or two, I’ve been wondering about the IC9700. In its short life, has it had a good reputation among the VHF/UHF gang? I’m curious about

Anyone know Richard, K5XE? There’s a nice article about him in this morning’s ABQ Journal. He became a SK in 2018 and donated his body to UNM’s medical education program. -Bruce AA5B
