Ok, here's my wish!

How about a K2 on some steroids? Make it with all the current features and 
performances of the K2, include the 100 watt option, the KAT100 option, some 
DSP ability, transverter capability (more than it has now), maybe even 
include some AM and FM (for the transverter). Also, include a wide coverage 
receiver as a second RX. This would satisfy the dual RX people as well as 
the SWL guys (or gals). Well, and lets not forget some of the fine wishes 
that other 'Crafters have dreamed of. (reasonable wishes of course) Box it 
into one single package and call it a K3! It could rival the new Orion!

As a seperate wish, how about a armchair control pad like Ten-Tec? It could 
have the optical encoder, RIT/XIT pot, 2 or 3 function keys, and a 10-key 
pad. Maybe set it up like a 4X5 key arrangement. Have it in the standard 
10-key configuration with the * and # keys being band switching keys. Then 
have three function keys to the left of the 10-key pad across from the 1, 4, 
and 7 keys with the RIT/XIT pot right below them!

Cheers,
Colin
