Cool video! And if you want more views and real viewers, check out for services

The K2 is the last of the old school transceivers. All of the necessary functions are right on the front panel and not buried in a menu somewhere. The receiver is dynamite! I have #7164 built in 2011 and I love it. I just acquired #8074 that I will be building as my home rig since I live in an apartment and need a compact station. I'm looking forward to building this one as well, and getting it on the air.

One day…..

Re: VHF/UHF Transverter Module. Hope you will allow it to cover Marine Band Freqs for Sailing RagChews...

Is the K4 and it's variants (D/HD) Marine Compatible (eg Salt Air weatherized) ? I am working toward a Live-Aboard Full Time Worldwide Cruising lifestyle, and I'd like to install a nice rig like the K4 on the boat. Also expect to be doing Digital Comms/eMail, and BlueTooth Audio (with PTT) would be a nice addition when on watch above deck. And what Full RC Software would you advise for use under Linux PC ? 73 - KB6LWN (good on QRZ)

So cool how fast he can whip them screws in and out from all the practice he must have had !

I have some antennas that would be damaged by 500W. If I set the TX power on my transceiver to 10W, will the KPA500 scale down to 125W out?

Proves that solid state is inefficient, tubes efficiency are constant at any drive level

I know you do not do a lot of videos. I wish someone would do a video on how to use the frequency memory editor software on the KX series of radios. Nothing on youtube about this software at all.

I just did the upgrade. I opted for method 2 with the SBC but I disconnected the easy connectors like the RJ45, HDMI and two USB plugs. It made it easier to manage. But I was careful to not stress the other connectors. I had a small scare with the KDDC4 not sitting plumb but I figured it out. I also confirmed I did not have the lock washers on the LPA so I installed as directed. Thanks for thinking ahead to include the two extra screws. de NY4I

Amazing technology that was invested into this awesome radio.. Elecraft has really pushed the envelope with the K4. I can't wait to get this.

Just amazing user interface on the K4. Outstanding job done. Real professional engineers who understand their business developed this. Everything looks balanced and reads great. Font sizes, colors, button placement, all interface elements - everything is great. I have to admit, ICOM are a little annoying in this regard.

Can't wait when you guys will release mobile KX4 for QRP.

Great radio for sure. It is a shame that you made this video with a potato however.

Very informative video. My K4 upgraded using method B. I see the mysterious fiber washer has been removed from the video and manual rev B.

What’s the turn around time on ordering a K4D from the factory?

Do you have any plans to add wifi capability for wireless operation?

Just received my upgrade kit via UPS today. Looking forward to installing it. Thank you for providing such a good video on the upgrade.

I have the KPA500 and thinking about going to the KPA1500. I notice a lot of the KPA1500 for sale with blown finals. Do you know what is cause for that to happen? is it user error ?

Yikes, seems better to buy it as a factory install option at the very beginning. You're already paying a lot of money to buy the K4/10 or K4/100....just pay the extra and get what your think you will ultimately want/need.

I wish you made a new version for the K4 including macros. I would like to hit tune on the K4 and set tune spots on an antenna. If it already does this how?

is the regular K4 10 watts or 100 watts out?

This is a Dense video but what a machine!

I’m wondering if the tuning knob is weighted or not?

When a HAM wins the lottery... this is the Radio he buys :). Crazy the tech this radio has...crazy

I own a KX3 for about 10 years and there is still a "TBD" in the menu :-( (S-Meter Mode)...

how hard would it be to add the kpa500/kat500 to the K4?

Please please use a anti-static wrist strap Elecraft!

At 3:25 I could not help but notice the clever double use of the food containers bottom portion to contain the screws but allow very easy access at the same time when they are reinstalled. Very smart use of resources.

That is the one thing I never liked about my K3. Too small of a working area when it comes to upgrading the Unit. KB3Z

For me if I did not have a K4D it would be option 2.

I look forward to a similar video for the installation of the VHF/UHF transverters.

I would send it back. Too many places to screw up.

Good and thank you

Good information - if I can understand but the horrible audio is frustrating. The AGC is maddening at times reducing the audio to near zero while other times the gain is a bit strong. Also the acoustics of the room is a problem. Sure would be nice to have a new recording that we can understand.🤐 Great radio KX3. I have had mine for several years and about 5-yrs ago added the PX3. Please make a new video and before releasing it listen to ensure it is intelligible. Bob - W6OPO 🤐

…. and it’s only $5,000!

Is enhanced mode possible with Icom 7610?

The only radio I would consider over a Yaesu

Marvelous video, Dave! Thank you for regaling us with the history of the venerable K-2. I built and own K-2 #999 from a kit back in 1998. I kept mine as a QRP radio and is loaded with the second/160m module, SSB, tuner, etc. It's been on countless FDs where it has performed flawlessly. From my cold, dead hands, Dave! Thank you again for the video!

Looks like a great transceiver ! I don't believe it has a similar cw bar graph tuning indicator that the K3 has. It would be nice as it is a great, quick visual way of zero-beating a cw signal. I know it has auto-zero beat ( as most all transceivers do now ) and the mini-pan indicator but a var graph is really nice. Maybe this feature can be added in firmware update. 🙂

Man, if I only had 5k to blow on a new toy. It's a 7300 for me. I wonder why Elecraft doesn't try to compete with Icom by making a reduced feature set of that radio at the 7300 price point? It really seems like a no brainer to me. They could even use similar architecture to save on development costs but lock out features with firmware so that you don't buy a lower cost radio to get the higher-end features.

What microphone are you using in the demo?

What battery rating for Continuous Discharge Current do you recommend for the K2 ? Also what size fuse do you recommend for implementing between the battery and the K2 ?

very good video of it.s ampli....from mexico the 73,s.

360p? really?

Will it work with the K4?
