[Elecraft] Icom IC-7300

[Chester Alderman]

I certainly hope NOT! What the heck does 'touch screen' have to do with xcvr
performance? Icom is not going to get off of that up conversion receiver
which removes the possibility to have narrow bandwidth roofing filters. I'm
sure there will be a lot of folks that will jump on to the 'touch screen'
display just like they did when Microsoft tried to push that onto their
users, and we know what a big failure that was!

Icom recently released news about the upcoming IC-7300
<http://icomamerica.com/en/products/amateur/hf/7300/default.aspx> to be 
available by the end of the year.   A completely software-defined 
radio.  Looks like a real game-changer.
While the K3S is a nice upgrade, I think the tide is slowly shifting to
touch sensitive, menu-driven, color displays.

I certainly hope the Elecraft is looking at this and considering its
implications.
