[Elecraft] Conversion from K3 to K3Plus or K4

[Darwin, Keith]

I think it is a good idea.  In fact, I suggested the same thing for the
K2 before there was a K3 (in those pre-K3, or B3 days).  Elecraft could
create a new version of the K2 (K2-B, B for Big) with a larger front
panel with dedicated controls.  Same for the K3.

I think it would be an easy thing to design and would be a popular
add-on.  I see it as a money maker for Elecraft.

I'm sure they considered it back in B3 and so far we haven't seen it.
My guess is the logistics of making it happen aren't so easy or it
doesn't fit their market model.

One issue with K3 is too many multifunction knobs and buttons. Also,
some analog meters would be nice. Computer controls are fine but they
are hard to use during contests.

I am wondering whether one can have a completely separate front panel
with lots of knobs and buttons, nothin dual purpose.
