Lousy QSK makes it a non-starter. Flex has always had issues with CW — QSK with too much latency to work to, now, clunky QSK? And the Sun looks nice, but I would never buy a radio hanging its hat on Microsoft, especially on Windows 10. On buying that last retirement radio — I bought an Orion as my retirement radio. Then I bought an Orion II as my absolute last upgrade. Then I bought a well-appointed K3. It never really ends :-) A “breathtaking" display doesn’t necessarily make a radio any better. I guess if I'd come up in the iPhone generation I’d think differently about that. But we’ll see — a K4 would have to be a markedly better RADIO first.
