ABOUT 8 DB.  THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF ADDING A 500 W AMPLIFIER TO A 100 W
TRANSMITTER, WITHOUT THE INCREASE IN THE ELECTRICITY BILL.  CONCLUSION
OVERALL, THE K4 IS A FINE RADIO AS IT IS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CURRENT
FIRMWARE REVISIONS.  IMPROVEMENTS, REFINEMENTS, AND OTHER NEW CAPABILITIES
ARE LIKELY TO BECOME AVAILABLE PERIODICALLY.  STAYING IN TOUCH WITH
ELECRAFT SUPPORT GROUPS IS RECOMMENDED IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH NEW
CAPABILITIES AND FOR THE LATEST NEWS ON NEW FEATURES IN DEVELOPMENT.  THE
ELECRAFT STAFF MEMBERS LISTEN TO THEIR USERS, AND YOU MAY EVEN END UP
CONTRIBUTING TO THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS OF THE K4 THROUGH YOUR COMMENTS AND
OBSERVATIONS.  THE TRANSATLANTIC EVENT WAS A LOT OF FUN FOR THOSE ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE POND.  WE INSTALLED A NORTH EAST BEVERAGE RECEIVING ANTENNA
JUST FOR THIS EVENT, AND BEING ABLE TO SWITCH BETWEEN IT AND THE HIGH
DIPOLE AT 120 FEET WAS VERY USEFUL.  STATIONS IN EUROPE THAT WE COULD NOT
DETECT ON THE TRANSMIT ANTENNA WERE EASILY COPIED ON THE BEVERAGE.  THEY DO
WORK.  THE K4 LETS YOU SWITCH NUMEROUS ANTENNAS FROM THE FRONT PANEL
CONTROLS.  ZACHTEK WSPR DESKTOP TRANSMITTER REVIEWED BY STEVE FORD, WB8IMY
