For me?...nope.
I would like to see the P3 display TX signal via the remote sensor promised
many moons ago.
Maybe even a 1kw hf amplifier.
How about an optional 299w PA for the K3?
I feel the P3 has quite a way to go in development and I like the idea of
using a keyboard with the P3 for rtty and digital modes without the need
for a PC with decode display on the screen.
Whatever Elecraft decide I am sure we will all be impressed...:-)
