Hmmm. Thinking can be a dangerous thing. It can lead to all sorts of
financial damage.
Although my KX3 is my first Elecraft experience, I've been following
Elecraft and their product line for quite a while.
It seems to me that the folks at Elecraft have pretty fertile imaginations
and a willingness to follow through with ideas and turn them into great
products. Given that, I'd suggest that they have at the very least discussed
future whizz-bangery and have perhaps even reached the "jotting down of
ideas" stage for their next radio.
Having said that I tend to be somewhat agnostic about radios. For my
purposes my F-817 was the best thing going for a very long time. It's now
been replaced by my KX3. Maybe at some time in the future a radio that suits
my operating style and needs better than the KX3 will come along and maybe
that radio will be developed by Elecraft. Hopefully it will be but only time
will tell.
Cheers,
