Exactly, I had my response written then erased it. We are seeing the K4 as every improvement comes along to our already excellent radio. Think about all the advancements since you got your K3 (OK, since I got mine sn 14xx). Remember those that were prompted by users like the expansion of the macro buffer among others. How many other companies would do that? ZERO. Your radio continues to just get better. I, for one, am glad they are doing it as they are instead of saving all the improvements for a new radio that I would have to buy to get them.

Going out on a limb: The K4 will appear as upgrades to the K3. The new synth is an example. Trying for Wyley E. Coyote levels of limb walking: A program interface to the auxbus for custom station automation. Digital audio interface between the K3 and Mac/Linux/Windows. More equipment for backpack stations. e.g. power, antennas, etc. If Elecraft makes a car radio, and I would definitely interested in replacing my IC-706, I hope it follows the lead of car entertainment radios going back to the 1940s and has single button tuning for at least 5 presets. If it is like the more modern radios, it may have both push and hold tuning for each button. A serious attack on driver distraction with ham mobile radios would be a very valuable feature. Another nice feature for a mobile rig is automatic tuning for screwdriver antennas. 73 Bill AE6JV ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | Privacy is dead, get over | Periwinkle (408)356-8506 | it. | 16345 Englewood Ave www.pwpconsult.com | - Scott McNealy | Los Gatos, CA 95032 ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to jimmil...@stl-online.net ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
