[Elecraft] K4?

[Scott Manthe]

There are no social media functions included in the proposed design, so 
what's your point? If you're implying that product design is not 
important to radio amateurs, you're sorely mistaken. A prime example is 
Icom, which has sold thousands of the IC-7800, IC-7600 and IC-756Pro 
series rigs primarily because they look cool. Yaesu also spends a great 
deal of effort on "eye candy." But those efforts have nothing to do with 
social media, so it's hard to see what you're getting at with the 
attempted social media correlation.
