Merv,
I didn't mean using the P3 for I&Q data. I would prefer having it
available from the K3S/K4. That would really cut down on the extra
stuff.

THe P3 is already a receiver, all it needs is a board to bring the I/Q out to
the world,
How about Elecraft making a board for that purpose?
Has been talked about before but have heard of nothing happening with the idea.
Im sure there are many willing to invest in a board and what ever else it
takes, it would
keep everything in the K3/P3 enclosures, and eliminate all the hang on pieces
that people
use now.

I'm easy. All I want is the I&Q stream available on the back of the radio as it
is on the KX3 while keeping the IF output. That opens up a number of options that I
now use work arounds for.

Wow; there's a tantalizing post.
I'll leave the important technical suggestions to others. Here's my list:
1. Seamless backwards compatibility with the KPA1500. Without it, I don't buy
a K4. Likewise, though much less important, for the K-Pod.
2. Similar though not necessarily identical form factor to the K3 / K3s.
Existing investments in shack design have been built around the current
equipment.
3. Built-in remoting. Get rid of the RemoteRig dongles.
4. Whatever it takes, so far as possible, to make connecting any outboard
computer to the rig unnecessary for any reason.
5. Upgrading from K3 to K4, as we had for upgrading from K3 to nearly K3s,
would be nice but I wouldn't let it stand in the way of major design changes.
6. One tiny matter the absence of which has always just bugged me -- an
internal contest QSO S/N counter for the internal memory CW keyer.
7. On-board panadapter. Touch-sensitive screen is not all that desirable. I
much prefer soft keys. Keeps the PBJ off the screen.
8. A kit version, as much as feasible.

Inquiring minds want to know:
What would you all like to see as a ?K4? ?
