Dan,
Would you be happy with a K3 with a P3, Larger face, display, more buttons, power supply, better speaker(forward facing) and maybe a 500w amp built in? Would it need to be a whole new radio or would a "repackaged" K3 satisfy your request? How about this, a larger case with an option for either a lager speaker or a P3 and a bigger display? How about 2 speakers, one for each VFO???? Put one speaker on either side of the radio. -- Nicholas W.
