[Elecraft] DSP, design advances, and the open mind!

Vic-
You are absolutely right - I was not thinking of that annoying fact early this morning while waking up with my coffee. It is quite frustrating to see newer rigs put cw in the back seat. One of the great things about the K2 is that they took cw out of the back seat and put it in the engine compartment!!!
