The new Elecraft K4<\/p><\/div>\n

Today, prior to the open of the 2019 Hamvention, I had an opportunity to hang with the folks at Elecraft and grab some photos of their newest transceiver: the Elecraft K4 direct-sampling SDR (click here to read the announcement)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elecraft has now published a K4 product page on their website with information about pre-orderswith information about pre-orders<\/a>. In short, the base model\u2014which includes two full receivers\u2014starts at $3999 US.<\/p>\n

Wayne Burdick told me that they expect to start shipping the K4 by the end of 2019.<\/p>\n

I snapped a number of photos of the two engineering prototypes of the K4 this morning in Building 1 at the 2019 Hamvention.<\/p>\n
