Starting from a successful model of the π -meson electromagnetic form factor, we calculate a similar form factor, F K (Q 2 ), of the charged K meson for a wide range of the momentum transfer squared, Q 2 . The only remaining free parameter is to be determined from the measurements of the K -meson charge radius, r K . We fit this single parameter to the published data of the NA-7 experiment which measured F K (Q 2 ) at Q 2 → 0 and determine our preferred range of r K , which happens to be close to recent lattice results. Still, the accuracy in the determination of r K is poor. However, future measurements of the K -meson electromagnetic form factor at Q 2 5.5 GeV 2 , scheduled in Jefferson Laboratory for 2017, will test our approach and will reduce the uncertainty in r K significantly.
