Im not asking for a K4. Im looking for a K3A upgrade. A larger case I can put the guts of my K3 in with a larger face(bigger screen and more buttons). This is not a completely new radio but a OPTIONAL upgrade to the K3 for those that want it. I understand a lot of people are happy with the size of their K3. Great they wouldn't want the K3A upgrade. I how ever would. I think a P3 built into the K3A face would be GREAT! Maybe the option to house either power supply OR amp! With the exception of the case and faceplate buttons and screen and power supply these are off the shelf parts. P3 is already in production and the KPA500 is rumored to drop this winter. I would also like a keyboard port. I want to be able to type PSK31 and RTTY with out an external PC. Imagine that! 500w RTTY in one box! Yes it would be heavy and some people wouldn't like it. Others would. Again Im not asking for a whole new radio. All that i'm asking for requires little development by elecraft, more repackaging. In the end would result in a top shelf KILLER.
In closing the Elecraft K3 is GREAT! I am the VERY proud owner of K3 #4455(great number!). the K3 has exceeded almost every expectation I had for a kit radio. That doesn't mean it couldn't be even better. I think yes. I personally would like a "larger" desktop K3(a). I would like the be able to perform this fictonal upgrade on the K3 components I have now. It you dont want or need these upgrades... Don't order or install them. This is a challenge to Eric and Wayne. -- Nicholas W.
