What Is The Elecraft K4 Zero?

I took some time to catch up with Eric Swartz, WA6HHQ at the #huntsvillehamfest he told us about the improvements to the new K4, it's remoting capabilities and hinted at the new K4 Zero device.

Shut up and take my money (again) Elecraft! 🤣

[@EdwardGriffin]

Remote HF operation is here to stay. It's nice to see another OEM baking it into their radios.

[@dansloss2566]

What an unfortunate callsign - 12 dits in a row - 6HHQ ............

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

That’s a lot of dits!!

[@JonathanKayne]

KX2 definitely made it into my top 3 favorite radios within a week of me owning one! If elecraft ever makes a KX4 (something like a K4 but with the KX2/3 form factor) I'm buying it.

[@jonathanjenkins8630]

Very good to hear about the Zero. I’ll mainly use it around the house.

[@VE7QH]

I was hoping the K4 Zero was the new KX2 hihi. Great to see Elecraft inovating and moving forward

Who’s an Elecraft Fanboy?? Josh is an Elecraft Fanboy!

[@johnnyzippo7109]

I must say , for me , Kenwood , is to radios what Corvette is to cars , with Yaesu being the 911 , very good , daily driver , practical , value . Elecraft , gives me that Lingenfelter king of vibe , very much engineered by folks that drove everything else .

[@johnnyzippo7109]

Last of my 2nd comments , I put my brother onto Elecraft , yeah , being the individual that introduced a new enthusiast unto Elecraft , made my day !

[@Jody_VE5SAR]

Good update. I'm definitely awaiting the VK4 app, and the HD upgrade module (which sadly didn't make this update... so probably a year out yet).

[@johnratcliffe6438]

Why is it taking so long?

[@slickman1953]

so much for deadline’s. it’s been 8 months and still no software release for remote running on windows or apple.

[@johnratcliffe6438]

So what is K4 Zero? Been listening for ages and haven't heard.

[@cedricvillani8502]

Lol you never show the radio

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Which one?

[@jbloodwo]

I don’t think there was a mockup of the k4 0 at the show

[@abyemozombie]

Hello, Ive been getting into radios as a hobby lately and getting info and stuff, great channel and thanks for all the info. My inly question that I dont seem to find an answer is, Ham/ gmrs licenses? Ive been looking inline cant seem to find any, also is it the same thing or do I need a license for both or one is better than the other I rlly dont understand tbh, pardon my ignorance and thank you.

[@BBaldwin]

You need a license for both, but I think with GMRS you just pay a fee and get registered. I would suggest study for your ham license, as GMRS is very limited to a small section of the UHF spectrum. Ham radio, on the other hand, is a whole new world. You can get your Tech license, but best to go straight for your General if you want to do HF. 73’s KO4VBL

Zero support/sales in the UK 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@johnratcliffe6438]

That's what puts me off. Import duty and shipping are just insane. I want to buy it in the UK for the same price the guys in the US pay, not thousands more.

[@hzilla5550]

Wating for a Buckmaster 3000W 10-80 OCFD to replace my 300W, and then maybe I'll spring for k4D and KPA1500.

[@douglasvamateurradioandmore]

I like this. I've been looking at remoting my station since I travel alot.

[@pcfreak1992]

I wish I had the money for a K4(D), let alone two 😂

[@RSwrightMD]

Josh - you need a K4d someday. I love my K4d!

[@ve2zdx]

I’m angry at elecraft 😂 it takes so long to get the kx2. I was expecting to use the radio this summer.. summer is almost over and the radio haven’t arrived yet 😢 I bought it at the middle of spring

[@FM-us3rd]

It's worth the wait. Love mine. First elecraft iv owned.

[@mikesmithg0rfd356]

thank you

[@garyvassar8379]

Great Video
