[Elecraft] Musings on a "K4"

[Guy]

"The TS-990 still has no test results released yet and I personally have no
use for 130+ knobs and buttons that may only be used once during setup for
many."

Just for concept discussion, it would be really interesting to use a
TFT LCD 5" hi-res color touch screen as part of a new front panel for
the K3.  Just a new front panel interface with a lot of the "knob"
functions accessible as a touch menu items on the screen.

Because of the hi-volume use of this technology in the cellphone
industry, prices should be low, and software development libraries
mature.

This would then open up a significant advance in the GUI and features
available in the radio, like maybe a limited bandscope.

I have no idea if this is code-compatible with the existing K3?   But
nonetheless fun to dream about.....
