In spite of what others say, I generally agree with the list.
Although I think 400W may be "over the top" - 150 to 200W output with a 48V PA power supply would be extremely useful for those who do not use external power amplifiers and would provide much better transmit IMD numbers (cleaner signals). In addition to the built-in P3, I would include an SVGA output (P3SVGA), separate "TERMINAL" (DB9) I/O, and USB accessory jacks (support for keyboard, mouse, and "Shuttle Pro" as a remove VFO and macro device). I would also include - "band stacking" registers with true single button per band band selection; selectable optimized preamps for 6m and 10/12m; operation to 400 KHz (for the 490 KHz allocation when it becomes available); place the "notch" *inside* the AGC; make the noise reduction more effective; review/eliminate some of the dual function (tap/hold) switches - particularly operation of "SUB" and AFX/DATA MD; wideband (100 KHz) I/Q input and output for external software support. 73, ...

I have the full K-Line and love it. However, my dream K4 would be: Two receivers 400 watts Built in panadapter Built in antenna tuner 160-6M Separate RX Choice of several filters Price = $5000 or less Basically, an FT-5000 and TS990s "killer". I guess it would be my K-Line in a single box. Larger than the K3 of course . . . -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Musings-on-a-K4-tp6619854p7574060.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
