[Elecraft] K4?

[Gary Gregory]

Hi Phil,

Your preaching to the choir mate...:-)

I think the P3 remote sensor has probably been shelved as I have asked
several times directly and never even got a reply so my assumption is this
device has been placed in the too hard basket and perhaps Elecraft see it
as a limited return on investment?

Your hub idea would be a great addition for me, I too would "want one".....

Keep up the squeaking mate, it hopefully will get some oil..:-)
