    I realize that aesthetics aren’t the most important thing about a radio, but dang I love the way the K4 looks.

    @6:02 Just keep in mind... the VK4 (remote head) is much lighter than the K4. The VK4 will be getting it's own slimmed down chassis - probably something like the Flex Maestro.

    Thank you. I have a K3 (loaded) & P3 which I love. Some day I hope to have a K4. Last field day (2022) I got to work with a K4, what a joy, it is one hell of a Rig. Wes Larson - KF7BWS

    Yes, Elecraft build radios in the USA. The KX2 is one of the best portable radios you can get. And, I love my K4D it’s just amazing very easy to use for any mode. You can run digital modes over ethernet too.

    The “kx4” title made me watch the whole video. Then I ‘got it’. Hihi Personally I think they should bring back the kx1. It has a place.

    Man, that rig looks so cool but that'll be just a dream for me coz I can never afford it. If I may sir, I would like to ask for your honest opinion. I am just new to hf, do you think I can just go by with my vintage IC-735? Love your videos by the way.

    How well would the antenna work on the 705??

    • @hamradiotube
      @hamradiotube  Год назад +1

      Not sure. I've never used it. I don't know if it needs a tuner or not.

    • @Aramalas
      @Aramalas Год назад

      I use the AX1 with a 705. It works just fine, they sell a tripod adapter for it and I put it on top of a Manfrotto Pixi tripod. I do cheat and use a tuner with it so I don't have to mess with the whip length.

    Love it but too much $ for me. I could buy one but logically I can not justify it to myself.
