I think that the K3+P3+KPA500= the mythical K4

Elecraft probably wouldn't have invested a bunch of money in building a 
line of gear around the K3 only to introduce something else. But, I 
could be wrong. Having acquired the "K Line," I'm not much interested in 
a "K4." I'm also not much interested in shoving a stick into anyone's 
eyes because of their choice of gear. The FT-5000 series are great 
radios- they're great performers, look nice and are expensive. I bought 
the K3 because for me, the entire "K Line," including a well configured 
used K3, the KPA500 kit and a used P3 only cost about $200 more than a 
base FT-5000. I don't really worry about anything that FT-5000 owners 
might have to say.
