[Elecraft] features of the mythical K3

[Andy Bullington]

A friend asked me the other day what features I'd like to see on a base =
station K3 (if there was one) and we got into an interesting discussion =
so I thought I'd throw it out to the list. He wants a 100 watt rig with =
most of the options included selling in the $1500-2000 range. I like a =
25-30 watt rig in the $1100 range with the amp as an option. Here are =
some of the things I would like to see...making the assumption that =
we're talking about the same great basic performance of the K2.
Here's my short list:
1)one button filter selection
2)some kind of adjustable audio filter ...with a knob
3) a true bypass DSP
4) dedicated SWR/power meter right on top
5) audio in/out jacks
6) big well lit frequency readout
7)dedicated DSP buttons or knobs so you don't have to go through a bunch =
of menus to get to the adjustable stuff
My friend wants some kind of pass band tuning.

Please don't anybody take this list as the tiniest slightest knock on =
the K2 which I really love. My friend and I were starting with the basic =
premise that the mythical K3 would be a base station rig.
