Hi Eric,

   I think one feature would be a built in single board computer.  One with enough horse power to run a Linux OS.  It needs a 1000 baseT connection to the outside world so it can act as another server on your home network.  The advantage being you could write all the necessary drivers from the radio to the network in house.  Then let independent developers write code which links between their code on the K4 and their code on your desktop.

Since there are ever more digital modes Elecraft can be on the forefront by offering high level APIs for external development. Offloading some of the work from Elecraft's standard mix of MCUs would allow you more freedom to solve more problems.

   Just a random thought while cooking,

      73,  Kevin.  KD5ONS

What would you all like to see as a “K4” ?
