[Elecraft] Musings on a "K4"

[drewko]

In a K4 I would like to have a SDR radio that would be a lot more
"definable" by the end user. I still prefer a conventional
self-contained box-with-knobs for my ham rig (not a computer) but
would like to have a lot more facility for customizing its operation
and functions.

Many of the various feature requests and software enchancements that
have been requested for the K3 and will probably never be implemented
could possibly be programmed by the user himself if the rig had a
sophisticated macro language. Such a "kit" would be a lot of fun to
tinker with! 

Not really interested in an SMD kit which to me would be little more
than an extended exercise in soldering, with bags full of microscopic
parts...
