There are many who would like to see a larger radio with more
individual controls (direct band select, Split, separate control
for Dual PB and APF, separate control for Diversity and Link,
etc.) as well as a 48V PA for better transmit IMD.  The added
controls and 48V/200w PA are not something that is likely in
the current K3 form factor.
