[Elecraft] K3 is really a computer radio

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Can we get all the features Wayne currently has on his list first  
please, before we start talking about a 'Pro' version? And then  
perhaps the PA's?

Instead of a different model of K3, how about an extension panel, that  
either supplants the front panel or better, is additional, by plugging  
into the 'service' RJ45 underneath.

Or of course, you can just do it with CAT control from a program -  
except for perhaps a few, I would think we all use computers in the  
shack, and since we're talking about the K3 as a base station, then  
using the computer to control the K3 seems reasonable to me.
